• Participants must have prior experience with Cybersecurity through the participation on a competitive Cyber Patriot team, completion of a high school cybersecurity course, or other documented experience in cybersecurity.
• This camp includes a full-day visit to the University of Colorado-Boulder campus. Students will tour the campus, visit various STEM programs, meet with graduate students, and enjoy a free lunch at CU’s amazing C4C cafeteria!

This camp is intended for students with previous Cyber Patriots experience. It will build on this experience and help students develop their skills in more advanced cybersecurity concepts like Ubuntu, Windows 10, Windows Server as well as networking. Students will work in teams to prepare for a Friday competition in which they will match up with students from across the country. The camp is based on the national CyberPatriot program.

• Open to high school students (Grades 9-12)

Students will get an introduction to Artificial Intelligence and get hands-on experience with machine learning. They will train their 1/18th scale race car to prepare to race in the virtual world by training the models in a 3D racing simulator. By the end of the week, students will test their skills by racing on a physical course. In the process, students will train, evaluate, and tune RL models in the online simulator, and deploy their models onto AWS DeepRacer for a real-world autonomous experience. Some familiarity with python would be helpful but not necessary. Students will also get an introduction to AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud services and will also be granted an account during the duration of the camp.

• Open to middle and high school students (Grades 6-12)

Robots are magic. The opportunity for them to do useful things is large but has been limited to the world of roboticists. Now, with Misty II, students can learn how to unleash their potential by bringing the magic of social robots to life. 

Misty II provides a new world of opportunities with robots for business, personal, research and educational use. She has a lot of capabilities for students to explore: movement, speech, and even vision recognition. This camp will teach students the tools to start developing their own skills on the Misty II while learning about all the different ways social robots are being used in our society. 

Students will be able to code Misty either through Blockly, a block-based program, or text-based languages Python and Javascript. This class is geared towards students with some basic experience with either coding or robotics, but no expertise in either is required.

Interested in learning about cybersecurity?  This week-long summer course introduces students to cybersecurity and concludes with a national cybersecurity competition for middle and high school students.  The course is designed for students who have not previously participated in cybersecurity competitions and have not previously taken a cybersecurity course.  Some experience in computer science is helpful but not required.  The camp is based on the national CyberPatriot program. Topics will range from how and why to set passwords to setting security policies in both Windows and Unix.  By the conclusion of the course, you will be familiar with cybersecurity, be able to apply the concepts to both Windows and Unix operating systems, and will have the opportunity to test your skills against other beginning teams from around the country in a CyberPatriot competition.
