GenCyber Summer Camps for Middle and High School Students in North Texas (Summer 2023)

The GenCyber Cybersecurity Program at UNT will host four summer camps for middle and high school students who are in the 7th-11th grades (i.e., rising 8th to 12th grades in Fall 2023).

The four camps are scheduled in the following weeks in June

• June 5 - June 9, 2023
• June 12 - June 16, 2023
• June 19 - June 23, 2023
• June 26 - June 30, 2023

All camps are face-to-face, day camps from Monday to Friday in a week. The daily hours of the camps are from 9am to 4:30pm, including a one-hour lunch break, a morning break, and an afternoon break. Each day's instruction will include short lecture-based presentations, class and group discussions, and hands-on activities and exercises. Hardware devices will be mailed to the participants before each camp.

Major Activities

• Each lesson in a daily camp will include a short lecture-based presentation, class and group discussion, break-out activities and hands-on activities and exercises (both individual and collaborative activities).
• At least half of the instructional hours will be spent on hands-on exercises in order to learn how to integrate cybersecurity principles/concepts and technologies into their curriculum.
• By the end of the camp, participating students will not only understand the cybersecurity concepts and first principles, but will also be familiar with some real-world cybersecurity tools and techniques through hands-on labs.
