The U.S. Cyber Challenge (USCC) is a national coalition of public/private sector entities collaborating to enhance the workforce with the next generation of cyber security professionals through skill development activities, mentoring, and resources, and the facilitation of scholarship, internship and employment opportunities.
The Maryland US Cyber Camps are summer programs designed for high school students in partnership with CyberWatch. Two one-week commuter day camps are scheduled in 2011. Students learn about the field of Cybersecurity and skills needed for this exciting profession. Specific topics covered include:
- Operating Systems
- System Administration
- Networking
- Programming
- Guest speakers
- Site visits
- Cyber defense exercise
- More, more, more
This is an intermediate level camp. Some technical experience is recommended such as: networking, Cisco Academy, and/or Java programming. Four days of activities culminate in a computer based “capture-the-flag” competition.
