Event Description

WeTeach_CS has partnered with Cyber.org to offer a workshop to discuss more advanced materials. Participants will gain access to the free Cybersecurity curricula by Cyber.org and be given temporary access to the EPIC Cyber Range so they may practice the hands-on components of Cybersecurity attacks. During the workshop, teachers will have the opportunity to practice cyber defense skills in an AFA CyberPatriot environment as well as their cyber offense skills in a Capture the Flag practice gymnasium!

This workshop is a continuation of Cybersecurity Fundamentals exploring more advanced Cybersecurity lessons that are rigorous, relevant, and aligned with the TEKS for the Foundations of Cybersecurity course and the TEKS for the Cybersecurity Capstone course. Participants will dig deeper into Red Team Penetration Testing and Blue Team System Hardening as well as participating in a tabletop simulation exercise from Cyber.org’s Cyber Society.

Using TWO MONITORS is very highly suggested in order to participate in the hands-on activities.
