In this experiment, we have experienced four phases: empathy, define, ideate, and prototype. Each phase led to understanding the environment, and led to the development of what we considered the problem to be.

Empathy

We began to learn what was going on within high schools in regards to cyber

What We Did:

• Surveyed Students

• Interviewed Teachers and and a member of the Board of Education

Things we did not know:

• Not all schools have cyber-security classes

• Most cyber-security classes are not taught by cyber-security professionals

• Schools do not have all the resources to support cyber-security activities

Define

We identified what we believed to be the problem.

Problem: There are multiple factors that led to the gap between high school students and cyber-security degrees, and careers

Factors: Not enough resources, not enough professionals, not enough support

Ideate

We decided the solution to the problems have already been invented, just not connected together.

Prototype

We will share a proposed solution to bringing together the various solutions to addressing the development of students into cyber-security professionals.
