Developing Cyber Talent Series 1: Making Cybersecurity Fun for Kids! – Crowdcast
This interactive webinar is designed for educators and professionals who want to learn from cybersecurity professionals who have developed engaging STEM events to get kids excited about cybersecurity as a possible career. The panelists will share examples of successful events and activities that they have led with K-12 students for over a decade, many of which you can duplicate in your own community.
Students often have no idea or misconceptions about careers in the cybersecurity field. By engaging with professionals and STEM educators, they learn that the field is broad and inclusive and that regardless of their background, there are opportunities to have a career that is exciting and rewarding. Through activities such as coding, cryptography, electronics, lock picking, and competitions, students have fun and learn that they can be a white hat hacker, using their skills to benefit society.
The panel includes founders and organizers from DEFCON R00tz Asylum, CornCon Kids, and Hak4Kidz.
