Reflection:

I attended the GenCyber Camp in the Summer of 2016, 2018 and 2019. In 2018, I began my journey as a Computer teacher K-12. So, this provided an opportunity to learn more about cyber security and how these principles could be introduced into the classroom. This 5 day on campus class was packed with exciting sessions that kept me engaged the whole time that I was there.

Areas of learning:

• networking activity

• soldering

• coding in python

• code a Raspberry Pi

• build electric circuits

• escaped from an escape room

• introduced to a presentation tool called Nearpod

• introduced to Chasing Einstein

How I Will Use This in my Professional Career:

I learned about the importance of Cybersecurity and the need for me to include this in my curriculum in the K12 school system.
