High School Summer Cybersecurity Program

Discover a career in cyber­security.

At the NSLC on Cybersecurity, you’ll learn how experts protect sensitive information and safeguard the systems that power our digital world. Explore the principles behind data privacy, cryptography, and network security, and discover how ethical hackers think creatively to identify vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. Through collaboration and critical thinking, you’ll see how cybersecurity professionals play a vital role in business, government, and everyday life.

The NSLC is proud to partner with IEEE and the IEEE TryEngineering Summer Institute to foster the next generation of technology innovators through hands-on, interdisciplinary engineering education that empowers students to solve real-world challenges.

Lots of fun meeting new people and learning more about myself and whether cybersecurity is really something I want to do in the future.
