Camps provide no-cost cybersecurity experiences for campers and their program goals are to:

postsecondary and
career opportunities for participants through year-round engagement. - Increase student diversity in cybersecurity college and career readiness pathways at the K-12 level.
Campers who attend a GenCyber Camp at Harford will code iRoot robots, fly mini drones,
