The program offers a unique blend of cybersecurity, AI, and global politics, developed by UC Berkeley's Interdisciplinary Social Science Program in partnership with Summer Discovery, providing a holistic understanding of digital threats and their societal impact.
This immersive academy-style program at UC Berkeley allows high school students to delve into the interconnected fields of cybersecurity, AI, and global politics. Participants will engage in hands-on activities and group projects, including reconstructing a real cyber breach and examining deepfakes and disinformation to identify warning signs. The curriculum explores how digital threats escalate from hacked accounts to national security concerns and compares governmental uses of surveillance and cyber capabilities to maintain power. Students will gain a solid understanding and knowledge base in these critical areas, preparing them for future college studies and careers.
A typical day involves intellectually engaging, active learning experiences, including project-based learning in small groups, hands-on activities, and real-world applications.
This program is ideal for academically motivated high school students interested in exploring the intersection of technology, global affairs, and ethical considerations.
