Prerequisites: Successful completion of Computer Science Essentials Honors (980). This course exposes high school students to the ever growing and far reaching field of cybersecurity through problem-based learning, where students role-play as cybersecurity experts and train as cybersecurity experts do. It also connects to the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (also known as the NICE Framework or NCWF), which incorporates many of the big ideas and learning objectives covered inAP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A. The course gives students a broad exposure to the many aspects of digital and information security while encouraging socially responsible choices and ethical behavior. It inspires algorithmic thinking, computational thinking, and “outside-the-box” thinking. Students will also explore the many educational and career paths available to cyburity experts, as well as other careers that comprise the field of information security.
