From July 11th to July 13th, Northwood High School’s Cybersecurity club hosted a summer camp for elementary and middle school students new to the cyber realm. The camp kicked off with an introduction of the club and an inspiring guest speaker. With the help of Josh Chin, co-founder of cybersecurity consultant company Netforce, participants were able to capture a glimpse of the cybersecurity industry and how to become involved. Northwood students then presented a variety of topics including ethics, operational security, open-source intelligence, social engineering, cipher, and forensics before wrapping up for the first successful day of camp. The following day, club members continued to present more topics such as web application exploitation, log analysis, password cracking, and network analysis. Finally, the camp concluded on day three, and with their freshly-obtained knowledge, participants were put to the test with a jeopardy-style Capture the Flag.
