The camp offers a free, hands-on introduction to cybersecurity fundamentals and advanced skills, culminating in competitive vulnerability analysis activities.
Las Positas College Cyber Camps offer high school and community college students an immersive, hands-on experience in cybersecurity. The program introduces participants to cybersecurity career opportunities, cyber ethics, online safety, and cyber threats. Students gain practical skills through activities involving virtual machines, basic Windows and Linux administration security policies, fundamental CISCO network routing, and CISCO packet tracer. A key component of the camp is a culminating activity where students compete by analyzing and fixing vulnerabilities on provided Windows and Linux images. The advanced skills camp builds upon these foundational topics, offering a deeper dive into cybersecurity principles and further opportunities for hands-on vulnerability analysis and remediation. The camp also incorporates engaging activities like piloting the 'CyberStart' cyber game and preparing for cybersecurity competitions such as CyberPatriot and National Cyber League.
A typical day involves a mix of lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions, where students learn cybersecurity principles, work with virtual machines, and practice fixing vulnerabilities on Windows and Linux systems.
The ideal cyber camper is a current 8th-12th grader or community college student with basic computer skills and little to no cybersecurity experience.
