The camp offers a free, hands-on, immersive experience in cybersecurity with a focus on career exploration and skill development, including a $150 completion stipend for participants.
The Cybercore Summer Camp, offered by the AZ Cyber Initiative in partnership with Glendale Community College, is a free, week-long, in-person program designed for high school students (rising 9th-12th graders) to explore the world of cybersecurity. Participants engage in hands-on interactive exercises, thrilling Red vs. Blue challenges, and Cyber Escape Rooms. The curriculum introduces cybersecurity fundamentals, technology careers, artificial intelligence, and digital safety through guided challenges and team projects on industry platforms like TryHackMe and CyberSkyline. Students gain practical skills, explore various career pathways in cybersecurity across different industries, and learn about emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing. The camp also features guest speakers who are cybersecurity professionals, offering insights into their career paths and providing valuable networking opportunities. All necessary equipment, software, and materials are provided, along with meals and snacks.
A typical day includes interactive lessons led by college interns, hands-on lab time on platforms like TryHackMe with instructor support, and collaborative team-based work such as Capture-the-Flag competitions and group projects.
This camp is ideal for high school students (rising 9th-12th graders) with no prior cybersecurity or technology experience who are curious about digital careers and eager to gain hands-on skills.
