STEM Summer Institutes

These programs provide enrichment opportunities for students interested in science and mathematics. The Information Assurance, Information Security and Digital Forensics (IT) course allows students to explore modeling and simulation software packages and explore digital forensics basics. Students will create an animated story, develop computer animation using a 3D model, and build an interactive maze/game with MicroWorlds. Students will develop interactive educational mini simulations/games with Excel and Star logo, and design, build, and program a cybernetic device with ROBOLAB. Students will also visit NIST and NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum, and hear from speakers from state and federal agencies and local security companies. This course is supported by NSF CyberWATCH.
