They work with industry-standard hardware, software, and platforms and learn from cybersecurity professionals as well as qualified NEISD instructors. They also have opportunities for hands-on experiences through on-site visits to cybersecurity companies in San Antonio and can participate in various competitions. Building relationships with cybersecurity stakeholders and engaging in community service through mentorship, instruction, and club activities are also available to them.
SAMSAT
SAMSAT
SAMSAT, the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology, unlocks potential for ALL students, families, and communities, with an emphasis on those traditionally underrepresented in STEM. In the process, we expand San Antonio as a global technology leader.
Large-scale demonstrations of three-dimensional printing of habitats on the moon, responding to cybersecurity scenarios that simulate real-world threats, seeing the inner workings of a self-driving vehicle, taking rides in flight simulators for upcoming generations of electrically-powered aircraft, and designing and building one's own personal computer are just some of the experiences that visitors will enjoy at Area 21, the new expansive space launched by The San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology (SAMSAT).
The 20,000-square-foot multi-faceted exhibit is the latest big component to go online at Tech Port Center + Arena — the innovation center in the heart of Port San Antonio's innovation campus which opened in 2021.
