About this opportunity

CyberBridge is an introductory cybersecurity course for teenagers. Across 10 live two-hour sessions, students build the network of a fictional company, CamTech, find its weak points and learn to secure it with firewalls and safe remote access. The final session is a project to build and defend CamTech. The course is taught live and uses a Cisco Networking Academy account. Learners choose an online or on-site track; registrations decide which track runs, or it runs as a hybrid if both have enough students. No experience is needed. The course is free, and a small registration fee secures your place. Registering does not guarantee a place, because the team confirms places and practical details.
