：这项工作展示了用于使网络安全访问视觉障碍和失明（VIB）的高中学生的具体适应。快速增长的网络安全领域需要多样化的劳动力;然而，存在的障碍可能会阻止残疾学生学习网络安全，更不用说追求该领域的职业生涯了。为了帮助克服这一挑战，我们于2019年夏季推出了第一个专门为患有VIB的高中生开发和指导的GenCyber夏令营。我们创造了一个独特的学习环境相结合的互动教学辅助工具，可访问的发展环境，和创新的教学策略。为了展示网络安全作为多元化劳动力的可行职业选择，这项工作的计划成果包括对GenCyber网络安全概念的清晰理解，引发对网络安全职业的兴趣，并建立追求这些职业的信心。本材料基于国家安全局和国家科学基金会通过GenCyber计划支持的工作，奖励编号为19-AL-UAHx-UV-S1。
: This work showcases specific adaptations used to make cybersecurity accessible to high school students with visual impairments and blindness (VIB). The rapidly growing field of cybersecurity demands a diverse workforce; however, barriers exist which can deter students with disabilities from studying cybersecurity, let alone pursuing a career in the field. To help overcome this challenge, we launched the first GenCyber camp specifically developed and instructed for high school students with VIB in summer 2019. We created a unique learning environment by combining interactive instructional aids, accessible development environments, and innovative instructional strategies. With intent to show cybersecurity as a viable career option for a diverse workforce, the program outcomes from this work included a clear understanding of the GenCyber Cybersecurity Concepts, sparking interest in cybersecurity careers, and building the confidence to pursue those careers. This material is based upon work supported by the National Security Agency and the National Science Foundation through the GenCyber program under award number 19-AL-UAHx-UV-S1.
