A message from Cyber Ambassador Kyle Kuhlers
|
The Iowa Statewide Cyber Ambassador program is a great opportunity bringing community and education together to grow Cyber education in our state. The program will help support ideas around visiting retirement centers, or youth STEM festivals. It is a resource for ideas and collaboration connecting Iowans to build a secure future.
|
In October 2024 the Cyber Ambassadors had the first statewide Iowa Youth Cyber Summit featuring lockpicking, a panel of Cyber Professionals (including 2 pen-testers), and Cyber post-secondary opportunities. The planning for 2025 is underway. Students from Davenport, Des Moines, Waterloo, Grundy Center, New Hampton, Osage, and more participated, it was a great day of collaboration and learning.
