Event Description

THE MARILLYN A. HEWSON CYBERSECURITY SUMMER CAMP

CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation's future. At the core of the program is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nation's largest cyber defense competition that puts high school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. The Marillyn A. Hewson Cybersecurity Summer Camp will host 7th to 12th graders for two sessions.

Overview: We will host 2 5-day camps. Both camps are open to 7th – 12th graders. The second week is an advanced camp open to students who have strong familiarity with computers and/or who have completed the first week. Both camps are day-camps only (no overnight, approx.. 8 AM to 12 PM daily). The current plan is to limit attendance to 30 for both camps.

We will use AFA CyberPatriot materials.
