CyberSAFE Camp (Summer 2023)

---

An ACC Foundation faculty grant made it possible for local high school students this summer to immerse themselves in a four-day interactive experience at Cybersafe Camp, coordinated by ACC’s Information Technology and Business Administration programs. Cybersafe Camp taught students about the many tricks used by cyber scammers to confuse, coerce, and lure people into taking actions that are not in their best interest, whether it is clicking a link, downloading a file, or giving out personal information during a phone conversation. Campers learned about various ways to publicize an awareness message and how different designs and mediums work when targeting audiences of varying generations and maturity levels.  Cybersafe Slam was the capstone event, a competition to create the most appealing, informative, and effective cybersecurity awareness campaign focused on keeping their own school from succumbing to an attack.
