GenCyber Resources
GenCyber is an important component of the national cybersecurity education ecosystem. Several resources are available to our federal partners, camp hosts and the general public to ensure that cybersecurity awareness and education remain at the forefront of our program's mission.
- GenCyber Student Interest: The end goal of GenCyber student camps is increasing interest in cybersecurity and cybersecurity careers. What is Interest?
- GenCyber Teaching Readiness: For both Teacher Only GenCyber Camps and Teachers in a GenCyber Combination Camp, the goal of having teachers attend GenCyber camp is to get them “ready” to teach cybersecurity. What is teaching readiness?
- 2015-2019 GenCyber 5-Year Report: When the GenCyber program got its start, we were unsure of what to expect, but we were excited at the prospect of reaching the future cybersecurity workforce at a much younger age and what that would mean for the nation. This report is the results of a five-year study to determine the effectiveness of GenCyber at reaching its goals. This report has found that GenCyber has been successful at accomplishing many of its goals, though in different ways and at varying degrees.
