Advanced GenCyber Summer Camp – Go VIRTUAL

The Department of Computer Information Technology and Graphics at Purdue University Northwest is offering a one-week free VIRTUAL Advanced GenCyber Summer Camp for high school students in July 2021. Advanced GenCyber Summer Camp will immerse you in learner-centered, hands-on activities, including cybersecurity awareness education and security practices in software, systems, networks, applications, cryptography and wireless.
