FREE #Intro2Cyber Workshop w/ Tyrone E. Wilson

Through this free beginners' workshop, we offer an intensive, hands-on introduction to cybersecurity.

We have designed this for students who want to build a foundation of cyber skills that can be used in schoolwork and in future careers. We start with an introduction to the basic tools and techniques and then go on to cover offensive and defensive training. This event is a fun, collaborative, and open environment where experimentation is embraced, failures are seen as learning opportunities, and creative thinking is always encouraged.
