Jump Into the World of Cybersecurity through Raspberry Pi Summer Camp

Published: July 7, 2023

Calling all high school students! Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of computing and cybersecurity? College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Cyber Defense Center is hosting Raspberry Pi Summer Camp, a five-day program designed to introduce high school students to the growing field of cybersecurity through hands-on activities.

Campers will receive their own Raspberry Pi and learn the basics of programming, circuit design, and cyber-physical systems through knowledgeable instructors. Students will also get to interact with peers and mentors and explore the possibilities of a challenging and rewarding career path.

The weeks’ worth of learning and activities leads up to the final day of camp, where campers will put their new skills to the test to solve challenging puzzles and participate in a “capture the flag” cybersecurity activity facilitated by the Idaho National Laboratory.
