The free seminar has drawn educators from as far away as Florida and Colordao, and hope to shed light on career opportunities for students and teachers alike in the growing cyber security field. Classes in digital forensics, cloud computing, and cryptography have been offered to the nearly 30 teaches and administrators on hand.
The NSF and NSA have sponsored 30 such events around the country this summer, with the goal of helping teachers design curriculum and gain the experience necessary to train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
