GenCyber Camps for Students in Montana
With the digital world at our fingertips at nearly all times, cybersecurity knowledge is essential for Montanans of all ages. We're helping students in 6th-8th grade start learning about cybersecurity early through our NSA Sponsored GenCyber Summer Institutes.
In April, Missoula College and Great Falls College will launch their 2023 GenCyber Summer Institutes which consist of 8 weeks of online sessions, 1 week of in-person sessions, then closing with 8 additional online sessions.
GenCyber Camps are completely free, but space is limited. Early registration is encouraged.
*The Missoula College in-person portion of the camp is currently at capacity for enrollment. Please fill out the form below to be added to the waitlist. Students on the waitlist are invited to attend the online pre-camp and online post-camp sessions even if space does not open for the in-person session. A team member will reach out if an in-person opening becomes available.
A primary goal of the institute is to foment interest in cybersecurity and technology and create a future pipeline into the fields of cybersecurity specifically and technology in general. GenCyber Camps are offered at Great Falls College and Missoula College. Your students will attend all virtual sessions and only attend one of the in-person camps. Register for the location that is most convenient for you.
