AFA CyberCamp provides a unique opportunity for students to gain practical cybersecurity skills through hands-on activities and a simulated competition, preparing them for future STEM careers and the CyberPatriot competition.
AFA CyberCamp offers an immersive, hands-on experience designed to introduce high school students to the fundamentals of cybersecurity and inspire them towards STEM careers. Participants engage in practical activities focused on cyber ethics, online safety, and securing Windows and Linux operating systems. The curriculum covers essential cyber defense skills, including identifying vulnerabilities, implementing strong password policies, managing user accounts, and configuring file protections. Students also learn about auditing and monitoring systems to detect and prevent threats. The camp culminates in an exciting team-based competition that simulates real-world cybersecurity scenarios, challenging students to apply their newly acquired skills to find and fix vulnerabilities in a virtual network environment. This competition mirrors the AFA's CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, providing valuable preparation and experience.
A typical day involves a mix of lecture material and hands-on lab learning, with the final day dedicated to a mini CyberPatriot competition to reinforce the week's lessons.
The camp is best for students entering grades 7-12 who are new to cybersecurity or have some experience and want to learn more about cyber defense.
