GenCyber Camps

The program included two camps:

• UWF GenCyber Guiding Cyber Mentors Camp, a week-long camp for educators in grades 1-12
• GenCyber Journey in Cybersecurity: A Girl Scouts Adventure, launched later in the month as an exciting way to increase diversity in the profession

Camp Objectives and Activities

• The UWF GenCyber Guiding Cyber Mentors Camp aimed to teach educators about cybersecurity concepts and cybersecurity ethics through hands-on activities via online instruction
  • Teachers developed lesson plans for their classrooms through experiential and role-playing activities
• The GenCyber Journey in Cybersecurity: A Girl Scouts Adventure was an interactive, online, cyber-themed summer program aimed at girls in grades 6-8
  • The program connected GenCyber Cybersecurity Concepts to the Cadette Cybersecurity Journey
  • It created an opportunity for each Scout to earn all 3 journey badges (Cybersecurity Basics, Cybersecurity Safeguards, and Cybersecurity Investigator) by the end of the week

Partnerships

The Center partnered with the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council for the GenCyber Journey in Cybersecurity: A Girl Scouts Adventure program.
