Re: High school cybersecurity programs

[Neal O'Farrell <neal () SCHOOLEDINSECURITY ORG>]

We're trying to get in before training and curriculum. They typically only
attract the same crowd, the 1% STEMers.

We created a project that 100% of the student population can participate
in, no coding skills or STEm involved, no classes or training, and really a
Trojan Horse to engage students who would never even think they're suited
to a security career.

If we keep the conversation to classes and courses, coding and camps, we
immediately switch off both the schools - most teachers don't want more
workloads for their students - and the other 99% of students.

When we say "next generation security," we really mean it!
