Capitol College will be holding a one-week summer program, CyberSTEM, for Maryland high school students looking to learn more about the field of cybersecurity from Aug. 5 through Aug. 9. The five-day commuter camp will feature numerous hands-on activities that focus on various cybersecurity and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) topics.
“As cybersecurity continues to grow, an increasing number of career opportunities will be available in what has quickly become a dynamic field,” said Dr. Helen Barker, dean of the School of Business and Information Sciences. “This program is a great way for high school students to experience cybersecurity education and explore career opportunities in a hands-on environment.”
During the program, attendees will learn and apply basic concepts of programming, forensics, cryptography and program management from a series of gaming, modeling and simulation activities, which explore the interconnections of science, math, technology and computers. Students will hear from several guest speakers who will discuss cutting edge technology and the requirements for careers in computer security, digital forensics and other STEM-based fields.
