The NYU-Poly CSAW CyberSecurity Summer Bootcamp provides a unique opportunity for high school educators to receive training and development in cybersecurity as part of a two-year study sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

The program is designed to determine if the CSAW competition encourages the study of computer science in the area of cybersecurity among high school students. The study will also measure various ways of encouraging young women to go into the field of cybersecurity.

25 teachers will be selected for this all-expense paid, stipend-supported week-long program that teaches them how to mentor students for NYU-Poly’s annual CSAW cybersecurity competition.

Teachers will receive guided training in the fundamentals of cyber forensics and other security-related disciplines of computer science as well as participate in cybersecurity challenges. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity. Apply Today using the application form below!
