The program is entirely free for participants, funded by the National Security Agency and National Science Foundation, and focuses on hands-on activities reproducible in a high-school classroom setting.
The Rowan University GenCyber Cybersecurity Bootcamp offers high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in cybersecurity fundamentals and the Internet of Things (IoT). Supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and National Security Agency, the program aims to raise cybersecurity awareness, introduce career opportunities, and increase diversity in the field. Participants engage in activities that cover core cybersecurity concepts such as Defense in Depth, Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Thinking Like an Adversary, and Keeping it Simple. The curriculum also explores ethical hacking, social engineering, computer and digital forensics, networking fundamentals, cyber threats, and online safety. Students gain practical skills through real-world scenarios and cutting-edge simulations, learning to defend against cyber threats and utilize security tools. The camp also emphasizes cybersecurity ethics and provides insights into post-secondary educational paths and career opportunities in the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
A typical day involves formal and informal student learning activities, including both non-technical and technical hands-on exercises, interactive talks, and potentially cyber board games or tours of cybersecurity facilities.
The ideal student is a high schooler interested in exploring cybersecurity, learning about digital safety, and discovering potential career paths in the field.
