A Summer Camp with a Difference!
December 31, 1969Are you a high school student making plans for your summer? How would you like to spend part of that time learning how to detect cyberattacks and foil those who try to carry them out?
For the third summer in a row, Capitol is offering a unique, week-long camp experience for high schoolers in grades 9-12 with an interest in computer networks and how to defend them.
The Capitol Cyber Challenge will be offered from June 19-23. The program will include scavenger hunts and other cyber games; training in computer forensics; coding and scripting with Python and other languages; creating software robots; working with 3D printers; and other fun and informative activities. The program will run from 9am-4pm Monday to Friday.

It's perfect both for students who are interested in cybersecurity but don't know much about it, and also for those who have had some cybersecurity experience during high school and want to increase their knowledge base.
There are only 24 spots available so this camp is first come first serve.
The Capitol Challenge will be hosted at the McGowan Academic Center on the University campus. To register click here.
