Camp Description:
The Department of Computer Information Technology and Graphics at Purdue University Northwest is offering a face-to-face, 5-day GenCyber Teacher Camp for high school teachers in July 2022. There are 25 spots available in the camp and these spots come with a $1,000 stipend for each teacher. The full-time GenCyber Teacher camp in July will be preceded by an online pre-camp in June with five daily, 1 ½ hour synchronous Zoom lectures to help teachers familiarize themselves with terminology, some cybersecurity concepts, and provide confirmation of attendance for the face-to-face summer camp. There will be post-camp activities during the following year after the summer camp which include ten, 1-hour Zoom follow-up sessions.
Some of the areas that will be covered in the summer camp will introduce high school teachers to cybersecurity concepts using the 10 Cybersecurity Principles framework, cyber safety and awareness related to passwords, networks, social engineering, and hands-on lab activities that include C language programming using a Sparki robot and IoT hacking and security using a Raspberry Pi including Python object-oriented programming to improve software security. Additionally, there will be hands-on labs for cryptography, encryption, ethical hacking and cyber forensics. Teachers will develop cybersecurity course modules that they can use in their classroom.
Objectives
Objectives
By the end of the on-line pre-camp teachers will be able to:
Have an understanding of some basic cybersecurity terminology.
Discuss introductory cybersecurity concepts.
Provide feedback on some of their interests in cybersecurity in order to provide an enhanced presentation of content in the face-to-face camp.
By the end of the main, face-to-face GenCyber Teacher Camp, teachers will be able to:
Discuss the basic principles of how the Internet works, including networks, servers, and accounts and how to enhance cybersecurity in these areas including good password design.
Discuss the importance of cybersecurity within the greater context of digital citizenship and social media.
Discuss the 6 cybersecurity concepts
Identify and use tools that illustrate cybersecurity principles with students in order to promote safe and ethical use of technology in the classroom.
Define and use principles of computational thinking in lesson development.
Define and use strategies for scenario-based learning in creating scenario activities that integrate cybersecurity principles.
Create lesson plans for cybersecurity topics.
Create programming exercises using the C programming language for controlling a Sparki robot and demonstrate concepts that enhance cybersecurity through good coding practices.
Setup a Raspberry Pi and create programming exercises in Python for enhancing security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Discuss and use tools for demonstrating ethical hacking and cyber forensics.
During the camp, teachers will work together with their fellow colleagues to design a scenario incorporating cybersecurity principles that can be used with their future students. We hope that you will be able to take advantage of the content knowledge that you'll develop during the week to help ensure that all of your students are safe, ethical, and protected when using technology.
Camp Follow-up
Camp Follow-up
Your workshop experience continues! Included with part of your stipend are 10 one-hour, Zoom follow-up sessions that will take place on-line over the course of a year after the summer camp. These sessions will include additional cybersecurity topics and help in integrating and/or modifying your course modules into your high school curriculum.
