Learning About Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet networks, devices and data from being accessed by people who aren’t allowed to use them.
At the camp, students learned the problem-solving skills necessary for cybersecurity jobs. For example, they used binary code to make friendship bracelets. They also learned the Python coding language and picked locks — all in an attempt to think like a cybersecurity professional.
Picking locks teaches people to look for weaknesses. They can then apply this skill to the development of software protection.
