The proposed project intends to expand and mature the extramural STEM program Cyber Adventurers through collaboration between the California Polytechnic State University, California State University Monterey Bay, Hartnell Community College and the Lyceum of Monterey. The project seeks to include Cybersecurity topics appropriate for its target audiences: middle school, high school, and undergraduates early in their career. The project seeks novel ways to bring Cybersecurity topics into existing curricula at the K-12 and undergraduate levels to address the widening gap between the supply and demand for qualified Cybersecurity professionals. The developed Cybersecurity lessons will be accessible to a broad audience and synergize with existing programs in formal and informal education contexts. This intervention will inform students early in their education about careers in Cybersecurity; help to understand the value of digital assets and related Cybersecurity issues; create activities to engage students in Cybersecurity lessons typically reserved for advanced computer science majors; and present Cybersecurity as an interdisciplinary concern relevant to a variety of STEM fields. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.The project will design activities that synergize with existing K-12 STEM programs. It will increase interest in those existing programs, diversify those programs, engage new audiences, and educate that Cybersecurity is relevant across a variety of STEM fields. The collaboration network of two K-12 schools and three post-secondary schools will unite interested practitioners and researchers, and will facilitate community building among STEM stakeholders in the Central Coast region of California. The dissemination strategy has the potential to impact and inform other projects at the national level.

拟议的项目旨在通过加州州立理工大学、加州州立大学蒙特雷湾分校、哈特内尔社区学院和蒙特雷学园之间的合作，扩大和成熟校外STEM项目“网络冒险家”。该项目旨在包括适合其目标受众的网络安全主题：初中，高中和大学生在他们的职业生涯早期。该项目寻求新的方法，将网络安全主题纳入K-12和本科阶段的现有课程，以解决合格网络安全专业人员供需之间日益扩大的差距。开发的网络安全课程将面向广大受众，并与正规和非正规教育环境中的现有课程协同增效。这种干预将在学生接受教育的早期告知他们在网络安全领域的职业生涯;帮助理解数字资产的价值和相关的网络安全问题;创建活动，让学生参与通常为高级计算机科学专业保留的网络安全课程;并将网络安全作为与各种STEM领域相关的跨学科问题。安全和值得信赖的网络空间（SaTC）计划资助从值得信赖的计算系统角度解决网络安全的提案;社会，行为和经济科学的角度;以及完全专注于网络安全教育的提案。该项目将设计与现有K-12 STEM计划协同的活动。它将增加对这些现有计划的兴趣，使这些计划多样化，吸引新的受众，并教育网络安全在各种STEM领域都是相关的。由两所K-12学校和三所中学后学校组成的合作网络将团结感兴趣的从业者和研究人员，并将促进加州中部海岸地区STEM利益相关者之间的社区建设。传播战略有可能对国家一级的其他项目产生影响并为之提供信息。
