"Carnegie Mellon to Host NSA GenCyber Experience for Local High School Teachers"

Carnegie Mellon University's (CMU) picoCTF for the National Security Agency (NSA) GenCyber Teacher Program is designed for local tri-state area high school computer science teachers in grades 10 through 12. The program will demonstrate to teachers how to incorporate online cybersecurity Capture-The-Flag (CTF) problems and competitions into the classroom to help students develop cybersecurity knowledge and skills. This initiative also aims to get students more interested in cyber-related careers. The 2023 camp will be held on CMU's Pittsburgh Campus from Monday, June 26 to Friday, June 30. Because space is limited, organizers advise interested teachers to sign up early to ensure their place in the program. According to the picoCTF website, the program provides free education opportunities on cybersecurity knowledge and skills typically taught at the Bachelor's/Master's level, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and their defenses, allowing participants to feel more comfortable using the content in their classrooms. The program also shows how all six GenCyber Cybersecurity Concepts and cyber ethics manifest in the design of secure computer systems, the practice of real-world cybersecurity professionals, and everyday cyber-computing experience. This article continues to discuss the 2023 picoCTF for GenCyber Teacher Program.
