AI-Cyber Outreach

成年人深夜福利在线观看

Overview

CEROC is committed to broadening participation in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence by delivering hands鈥憃n, accessible learning experiences for K鈥12 students, teachers, and community partners. Through mobile labs, dual鈥慹nrollment programs, and interactive AI鈥慍yber activities, CEROC brings real鈥憌orld cyber education directly to schools across 成年人深夜福利在线观看 and beyond.

AI鈥慉ssisted Cybersecurity in the STEMobile

As part of CEROC鈥檚 collaboration with the Millard Oakley STEM Center, the STEMobile is transformed into a mobile cyber classroom that delivers 30鈥憁inute, hands鈥憃n lessons to groups of up to 25 students. During a week鈥憀ong school engagement, the CEROC team provides:Kids on the STEMobile

      • AI鈥慍yber lessons inside the STEMobile or a school鈥檚 library/classroom
      • Teacher and counselor professional development
      • Parent engagement sessions
      • Ready鈥憈o鈥憉se lesson plans that schools may reuse throughout the year

To expand AI鈥慍yber outreach, CEROC developed a set of high鈥憇chool鈥揻riendly modules on AI鈥慸riven cybersecurity applications such as intrusion detection of hardware Trojans. The lesson introduces students to supply鈥慶hain security by demonstrating how malicious hardware modifications can alter system behavior. A Raspberry Pi鈥揵ased setup emulates a hardware Trojan, enabling students to:

      • Observe changes in device latency, temperature, and memory usage
      • Analyze datasets representing 鈥渃lean鈥 vs. 鈥淭rojan鈥慳ffected鈥 operation
      • Build simple AI classifiers鈥攕uch as convolutional neural networks (CNNs)鈥攖o detect anomalies
      • Explore the real鈥憌orld impact of hardware Trojans on embedded systems

Golden Eagle Cyber Certificate (GECC) 鈥 Dual Enrollment Program

CEROC leads 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech鈥檚 Golden Eagle Cyber Certificate (GECC) program, a dual鈥慹nrollment initiative supported by state funding to expand cybersecurity pathways for high鈥憇chool students. Development began in FY22鈥揊Y23 and focused on district needs, course alignment, administrative structures, and pilot partnerships across the region.

Students who complete nine (9) credit hours of university coursework prior to graduation earn the GECC credential. The current structure is a 鈥6鈥憄ick鈥3鈥 model, in which students choose any three of five available courses. One of the cornerstone GECC offerings is Data Science for All, an introductory AI and data science course tailored for high鈥憇chool learners. This course introduces:

      • Foundations of data analytics
      • Machine learning concepts through accessible, hands鈥憃n activities
      • Responsible and ethical AI use
      • Applications of AI in cybersecurity, including anomaly detection and cyber鈥憈hreat modeling

Students gain practical experience with supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, building simple models to understand how AI can detect patterns, classify cyber events, and support security decision鈥憁aking.
