STEM Camps

No age is too young to start learning more about cybersecurity. Summer Cyber STEM camps for middle school students are held throughout the state, using hands-on activities to investigate topics like cryptography, password cracking, and geotagging. These camps are led by college cybersecurity faculty and provide a great introduction to cybersecurity.

The Cyber STEM Summer Camps strive to be part of the solution to the nation’s shortfall of skilled cybersecurity professionals. Ensuring that enough young people are inspired to utilize their talents in cybersecurity is critical to the future of our country’s national and economic security as we become even more reliant on cyber-based technology in every aspect of our daily lives.

Find area-specific information below about the Cyber STEM Summer Camps in your desired locations (no experience required). Depending on location, the camps range from programming in scratch or Python, to electronics and networking, to basic command-line operation of computers. All while adding at least a dash of cybersecurity.
