In addition to this core camp, our outreach plan includes:

GenCyber on Wheels (Expected participants: 600): There will be multiple field trips (one week long, 1/2 cybersecurity, 1/2 STEM) to a regional high school on a STEM mobile truck provided by the TN Tech STEM Center. Each trip will involve stationing the STEM Mobile to allow high school students to board the vehicle and discover cybersecurity-related, hands-on exercises using Raspberry PIs and laptops.
Middle School Site Visits (Expected participants: 500): We will visit two local middle schools for a Cyber Conscious Citizen session about Online Safety.
Seed Fund to Start CyberPatriot Clubs (Expected seed fund to be awarded: 2)
To continue the legacy of GenCyber Camp, maintain interest in cybersecurity as a hopeful outcome of the camp and facilitate an outlet for students to continue with their new interest, encourage and support students to start Cyber Patriot clubs at their schools.
