GenCyber Teachers Camp

Coastline College's GenCyber Teachers Summer Camp in Garden Grove, CA was a one-week, non-residential camp for high school teachers, counselors, and librarians. Cybersecurity career and education pathways were the program focus throughout the week, and campers had the opportunity to meet with cybersecurity professionals to discuss cyber careers and real-world cyber scenarios encountered by people working in the field. At the end of the week, teachers presented an overview of the cybersecurity lessons they had developed for their classrooms with an anticipated reach of over 3,200 K-12 students this academic year.

More information can be found on the CyberTech Girls website re: Teachers Camp.

GenCyber Girls Camp

Coastline's GenCyber Girls Summer Camp 2021 was focused on law enforcement and digital forensics. Campers learned how to examine digital evidence using forensics software throughout the week. Support from local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies provided students with a greater understanding of career opportunities. Coastline's Cybersecurity faculty look forward to many more successful outreach activities featuring guest speakers that raise awareness about cybersecurity and law enforcement careers.
