RUSTON, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Louisiana Tech University hosts Cyber Discovery 2.0, a camp for high school students to learn about cyberspace and homeland security.
Each day of camp students were given different scenarios that threaten national security, then the groups had to decide how they would respond if they were the US government.
"In the world of cyber security, the adversary thinks outside the box," says Montana Williams, National Cybersecurity Education Director, "and normal solutions don't apply."
Williams says when it comes to homeland security, you have to think on a more global scale, and in turn there are many different solutions to one problem. After watching a mock newscast about an American satellite falling into the South China Sea, groups had to answer some important questions: who did it, why, and what are we going to do about it.
The program is geared to give students the opportunity for higher thinking that prepares them for any possible career.
"...To increase awareness, challenge these kids to think outside the box, think critical, because these are the necessary skill sets that are going to make them very marketable in the world," says Williams.
The camp ended by declaring overall winners, three young men from El Dorado High School.
