Students gain practical cybersecurity experience and a taste of college life by living in residence halls and learning from university faculty.
The Digital Detectives: A Cybersecurity Adventure program at the University of Mary Washington's Summer Enrichment Program offers high school students a hands-on exploration into the world of cybersecurity. Participants will engage in activities such as encrypting messages, scanning networks, cracking passwords, and uncovering vulnerabilities. The curriculum is designed to provide practical experience in ethical hacking and to educate students on how to protect the digital world. This immersive experience aims to develop students' understanding of cybersecurity principles and practices, fostering skills crucial for navigating and safeguarding digital environments.
A typical day includes breakfast, one class, an enrichment activity, lunch, two more classes, dinner, an organized social activity, and downtime in the dorm before lights out.
This program is ideal for academically motivated and self-directed high school students (rising 10th-12th graders) who are curious about cybersecurity and eager to experience college life.
