GenCyber

GenCyber is a nation-wide grant program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Security Agency (NSA). With the intent of building excitement and awareness of this important field, GenCyber provides funding to programs so that they can introduce middle and high students and their teachers to the field of cyber security.

The School of Information Technology has been awarded a GenCyber grant since 2019 to create and host a GenCyber Camp. All of our GenCyber Camps have been great successes with great teachers.

GenCyber Camp is open to high school teachers in the state of Ohio.

This project has a wide reaching impact on High School Teachers and aligns with other IT education initiatives. Teachers from any high school are welcome to apply for the camp. The camp is delivered at no charge to the teachers.  

For a successful project, we rely on the support of the IT community, educators, and businesses. We would love to have volunteers in the areas of education, IT, and community outreach. We also want your feedback and ideas.
