The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force offers free Standard and Advanced CyberCamps for students entering grades 7–12. These hands-on summer cybersecurity camps introduce students to cyber defense, network security and real-world cybersecurity concepts. Students can participate on-site at the Museum near Dayton, Ohio, or through select remote learning locations across Ohio.
The AFA CyberCamp program is designed to excite students new to cybersecurity about STEM career opportunities and teach them important cyber defense skills through hands-on instruction and activities. Through the camp, students will learn how to protect their personal devices and information from outside threats, as well as how to harden entire networks running Windows 10 and Ubuntu operating systems. The AFA CyberCamp will culminate in an exciting final team competition that simulates real cybersecurity situations faced by industry professionals and mimics AFA’s CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition*.
