Program Overview
Participants will engage in hands-on activities and learn about the field of cybersecurity. They will learn to apply basic security concepts through gaming, modeling and simulation development, robotics, digital forensics, cryptography, system vulnerabilities and cyberethics, safety and security, while investigating exciting careers that interconnect the fields of science, math, technology and computer security. Students will tour local labs and hear guest speakers from state and federal agencies and professionals. No experience necessary.
Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach, a research and development organization located in Maryland, connects educational technology policy and research to instructional practice. ETPRO brings more than two decades of experience in the educational community, and more than a decade of experience in evaluating both formal and informal educational programs at the K-16 level and conducting educational technology policy analysis. ETPRO’s expertise is founded on a combination of classroom practice across K-16 tied with a solid research base.
ETPRO originated from the Educational Technology Outreach division of the College of Education, at the University of Maryland, and in 2007 was founded as an entrepreneurial entity committed to quality education for all learners, targeting the effective use of cutting edge technology in formal and informal educational settings to increase interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The fundamental gap between technology use and understanding of proper practices, led ETPRO to the forefront of research, program evaluation and development of Cyberethics, Cybersafety, and Cybersecurity (C3®) and CyberSTEM™ initiatives.
The CyberWatch K12 Division extends the CyberWatch Mission to the K12 Community. Its mission is to improve the quality and quantity of the information assurance workforce. The K-12 Division Goals include increasing:
- the IA workforce pipeline
- community awareness of IA workforce needs
- community awareness of Cyberethics, safety and security, and
- security of K-12 IT systems
CyberWatch (CW) is a National Science Foundation funded Advanced Technology Education Center. The CW goals are focused on IA education at all levels, from elementary through graduate school and include curriculum development, faculty professional development, student development, career pathways, and public awareness.
