Last week I gave a presentation at a local school for students about careers in cyber security. One great way to capture the imagination and attention is by opening with a short video.

Below are a few I have used before that are big hits with students:

For those who are wondering whether the prediction that a “super-human” computer would exist by 2013 came true, it did. Cray’s “Titan” at Oak Ridge National Labs computes at a rate of 17.6 petaFLOPS (17,600,000,000,000,000 Floating Point Operations Per Second), and was initialized in November 2012. China’s Tianhe-2 can do 33.9 pFLOPS, but was only started in June 2013.

Developing classroom presentations for your community’s k-12 schools may seem like an overwhelming task, especially for an already busy professional. However, it can be done and it can be very rewarding for both the presenter and the attendees. The presentation tips and recommended materials below will help you develop exciting and successful presentations that leave students and their teachers wanting more.

KEY #1:

It is important to understand the difference between career/workforce awareness and cyber awareness. In many cases teachers/schools are asking for a career briefing, and become disappointed when the content covered seems more geared towards cyberawareness (internet safety). Topics such as strong passwords, privacy, use of social media, and online reputation management are usually covered in great detail now-a-days due to the federal mandates associated with E-rate funding. Teachers may be disappointed and students may also become bored if the presentation content is cyber awareness—as they have already heard the messaging. While these topics can be briefly covered, the key is to make the connection between the cyberawareness topics and the career options.

What are jobs in cyber security? How does choosing a strong password make the job of a cyber security professional easier? Can students think of other ways besides passwords to make information confidential and secure? What are different job roles/responsibilities/titles in cyber security?

KEY #2:

Depending on the school/school district, you may be asked to provide evidence of a background check/fingerprinting. You or a representative of your agency might want to verify the requirements. Always ask that a second adult be present during your presentation. Make sure you have a formal form of identification on hand when arriving at the school. Most schools now require it at the main office before allowing you to be escorted to your presentation location.

Tips and Tricks

Grab their attention

The key to a successful presentation is to capture the audience’s attention from the start and hold throughout. You might want to start with a brain teaser, short video, open ended question, magic trick, age appropriate story, or demonstration that introduces your topic.

NOTE: Handouts and give-aways should be given towards the end of your presentation.

Presentation pointers

Here are some tips to help your presentation go smoothly.

• Introduce yourself with age appropriate vocabulary.
• Avoid (spell out and explain) acronyms; assume the audience is not familiar with any acronyms or titles.
• Make eye contact.
• Whenever possible, make it active, animated and include discussion and hands-on activities.
• Use minimal PowerPoint and/or video.
• Do not assume there will be electricity, laptop, projector, screen, or internet access.
• Get students engaged by asking questions and continue to check often for understanding.
• Use props, activities, student demos and other visual materials to make more interactive.
• Close with a summary of your key points or better yet ask students to summarize the key take aways.

Be sure to thank the students, teachers, chaperones, parents and administrators for allowing you to visit.

Increasingly I get asked for information and resources to present to students, educators and/or parents. I thought I would take some time and share a few tips for sharing with the K-12 audience.

One of the first things I ask is what grade level and is it a career fair (table format) or a presentation format. Both the format and the age group of the audience determines the strategies, resources and delivery of the material.

Let’s first explore the Booth format.

Hosting a booth at a career fair can be an effective way to engage students (and parents) to learn more about careers in cybersecurity, but only if you can persuade them to visit your table. Creative displays that are innovative yet substantial will entice attendees to stop. Encourage them to spend more than a minute at your booth — and perhaps learn more about your program or company– with a well-planned booth display.

Here are a few pointers:

Confirm the Audience

Confirm with the event sponsors the audience logistics. What is the audience age group? How many students will be attending? Will students rotate through informally or formally? Will students be accompanied by parents? Inquire about the following:

• What is the general age range that will be attending?
• About how many students can I except?
• Is the event during school time or after school?
• Are students allowed to explore on their own or are they escorted as a group by teacher?

American researchers from San Antonio found that 20% of healthy people met the criteria for levitra mastercard chemical intolerance.
Confirm the Display Logistics

Ask the event sponsors for the display size and specifics. K-12 events typically come in two flavors; classrooms organized by theme or entire event held in the cafeteria or media center. If themes, you will be assigned a room with several other organizations based on topic (medical, financial, technology). Cyber security typically falls under the technology theme. Six foot fold out tables are the norm for the displays. Table clothes are usually NOT provided. Typically small pull up banners are allowed but not large display cases. Electrical outlets may be hard to find. Ask that your table be placed near an outlet if you need electricity, and bring long extension cords. Internet access is usually NOT provided; if you need access make arrangements to use a personal hotspot connecting to your iphone or something similar.

A display poster or name recognition is usually not provided; make sure you bring a table cloth with name display or some other means to display who you are. Don’t assume you can tape signs up on wall. This is typically not allowed.

Inquire about the following:

• Are table clothes provided?
• Can we use display or pull up banners?
• Are electric outlets available?
• Is Internet access provided?

Include table cloth and organizational banner 

Offer Icebreakers

Students may feel shy and reluctant to approach your table, so display some fun items to act as conversation starters. Along with brochures and other handouts regarding your organization or institution, consider passing out candy (no nuts or peanuts) or party favors. Better yet, offer gifts that are entertaining or useful and also include information about the group you are representing.

For example, wrap water bottles with custom labels printed with your organization information or give out promotional gifts with your  logo. Find give-aways that connect with Cyber security. Below are a few possibilities.

• Band-aid dispenser:   Be safe and secure
• Computer mirror: Are you secure?
• Tape measure: How do you measure up?
• Whistle/light: Be safe and secure

Make It Exciting

The table display needs to be exciting to look at. A three way display board can draw attention. Use display holders to organize brochures and other paperwork. Easels with posters or posters with T-shirts can also attract attention. You should also include hands-on interactive activities.

Make It Interactive

A hands-on display that students and parents can explore on their own will pique their curiosity. Or you can include a game or task that needs to be solved; perhaps leading to a give-away prize. Make sure you can explain how each relates to broad field of cyber security and to the group or organization you are representing.

Here are a few of the crowd favorites:

• Lock Picking
• Break the code
• Computer parts
• Invisible Ink
• Puzzles

In the future I will include some lessons for the interactives above and others that are crowd favorites.
