Erich Rice of St. Cloud State University and Brian Volkmuth of St. Cloud Technical & Community College convened a stakeholder meeting with Wayzata Public Schools. The goal of the meeting was to establish a partnership for cybersecurity education, encompassing student and faculty training, career development, and DoD funding opportunities. The meeting further highlighted the need for high school faculty members to develop or integrate cybersecurity related curriculum in the courses they teach. This will go a long way in helping build cybersecurity among high schoolers in Wayzata.
The team also presented the Regions Investing in the Next Generation (RING) and Cybersecurity Labs and Resource Knowledge-base (CLARK) curriculum and resources to the faculty members. These open-source materials offer curriculum content, lab assignments, and assessments that faculty and students can access to gain more cybersecurity knowledge. The team is organizing a workshop for high school faculty to learn more about these resources and offer training on related topics. The public can access these resources at no cost, with few limitations.
