STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State University’s Center for Cyber Education is inspiring the next generation of computer scientists with a free weeklong camp this June.

The center will host a GenCyber camp June 19-23, a commuter camp open to all seventh and eighth grade students, regardless of experience in computer science. GenCyber is a National Security Agency-and National Science Foundation-funded program to provide cybersecurity experiences for students and teachers at the secondary level.

Attendees will learn about cybersecurity, a growing, high-demand and high-wage field that is important for all students, regardless of career. They will engage in hands-on activities to learn skills used in the field. Lunch and snacks will be provided during the camp. Students can register by filling out the form at https://tinyurl.com/MS-State-GenCyber2023.
