Welcome back to a new school year! We are passionate about advancing cybersecurity education and building a strong cybersecurity ecosystem. This is our fourth school year working alongside teachers across the country who are educating students about and building interest in cybersecurity.
|
|
|
|
|
In this newsletter we wanted to give you an update on our work and make you aware of some upcoming events and opportunities.

Much like starting a new school year, DARK Enterprises and Teach Cyber have new happenings occurring this Fall. We are excited to share them with you.
|
|
|
|
|
First, we will be launching a new website this Fall to share about our work to advance cybersecurity education, including Teach Cyber. Through several projects and initiatives, we focus on three goals to advance 1) the research in cybersecurity education, 2) the evaluation of efforts to support cybersecurity education and 3) the practice of teaching and learning cybersecurity. You will be able to learn about these efforts and find ways to get involved on the new website.
|
|
Second, when the new website launches, we will also be rolling out our updated courseware. We've been hard at work updating and simplifying the format. We will share more about this when it is ready to roll out so keep an eye out for that!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stay tuned as we get closer to the launch date!
