Registration Opens for Bellevue University and Metropolitan Community College Cybersecurity Center Summer Cyber Camp for 9-12th Graders
Free June 24-28 Camp to Offer Immersive Cyber Tech Experience
Bellevue University and Metropolitan Community College Cybersecurity Center announced that registration is now open for its free summer Cyber Camp, created specifically for students entering grades 9-12.
Cyber Camp, June 24-28, will be hosted on Bellevue University's main campus in the Integrated Technologies Lab, offering an opportunity for high schoolers to explore the world of cybersecurity.
The camp, which will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day promises an immersive experience supervised by cyber tech experts. Participants will deepen their understanding of cybersecurity and hone practical skills crucial in today's digital landscape.
Professor Douglas Rausch, one of the co-leads for the camp, is excited for the opportunities this camp will provide for students.
“There continues to be a strong demand for cybersecurity and IT careers and it’s never too early to gain the skills used in these potential future jobs,” said Rausch. “Our camp will use hands-on activities aligned to the CyberPatriot program that many students may be familiar with from their high school's or organization’s CyberPatriot club.”
“Throughout the week, students will learn how to securely configure Windows and Linux computers and finish up the camp by competing in a cyber defense competition against students from other CyberPatriot camps,” Rausch went on. “It’s going to be an exciting week.”
The Cyber Camp is free, making cybersecurity education accessible to all. However, spots are limited, so students should RSVP to reserve a seat.
After signing up, students will receive confirmation of their enrollment status. For more information, email bucybercenter@bellevue.edu.
