This funding establishes a new Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Site at Polytechnic University of New York (NYU-Poly). The primary objective of this RET site is to engage high school teachers in cyber security related activities and involve them in introducing a topic of critical national need to students. The project will introduce a cadre of teachers to the basic concepts of cyber security and engage them in ongoing research projects at NYU-Poly. The teachers and their students will participate in a nationwide high school forensics challenge. The NYU-Poly RET team has an outstanding track record of achievements in cyber security research, education, outreach, capacity building, and K-12 educational initiatives. The team plans to provide research and professional development opportunities to teachers from urban, inner city schools and broadly disseminate the curricular materials the teachers design to bring the cyber-security topics and their research into classrooms in the greater New York City area. Thus the project will develop a community of teachers and students who are passionate about cyber security.The project is abundant in intellectual strengths anchored by a research area this is compelling and relevant to all citizens and by an exceptional faculty team that has demonstrated expertise in both research and K-12 outreach. The site features projects that are teacher accessible as well as connected to current research and practice. The RET site includes sound evaluation and dissemination plans that may provide models for secondary cyber security education, filling an important disciplinary gap. The project could help establish a sustainable/scalable pathway to an abundant group of US computer scientists proficient in the next generation of cyber security concepts and techniques.The project also has many broader impacts. The project will provide professional development to teachers from urban, inner-city high schools with socially diverse, economically disadvantaged, and underrepresented student populations. Teachers will develop and hone their research, communication, and presentation skills, all of which are essential to their professional growth and success. The project will build the technical capacity of teachers so they are capable of developing and deploying cyber security topics at their schools. The project team will disseminate the results of the project through the TeachEngineering digital library, tutorials, and course materials for adoption by others.

这笔资金在纽约理工大学（NYU-Poly）建立了一个新的教师研究经验（RET）网站。这个RET网站的主要目标是让高中教师参与网络安全相关活动，并让他们参与向学生介绍一个关键的国家需求主题。该项目将向一批教师介绍网络安全的基本概念，并让他们参与纽约大学理工学院正在进行的研究项目。教师和他们的学生将参加一个全国性的高中法医挑战。NYU-Poly RET团队在网络安全研究，教育，外展，能力建设和K-12教育计划方面取得了杰出的成就。该团队计划为来自城市和内城学校的教师提供研究和专业发展机会，并广泛传播教师设计的课程材料，以将网络安全主题及其研究带入大纽约市地区的课堂。因此，该项目将培养一个对网络安全充满热情的教师和学生社区。该项目拥有丰富的智力优势，其研究领域与所有公民都具有吸引力和相关性，并拥有一支在研究和K-12推广方面表现出专业知识的杰出教师团队。该网站的特点是教师访问以及连接到当前的研究和实践的项目。可再生能源技术网站包括健全的评估和传播计划，可为中学网络安全教育提供模式，填补一个重要的学科空白。该项目可以帮助建立一条可持续/可扩展的途径，吸引大量精通下一代网络安全概念和技术的美国计算机科学家。该项目还具有许多更广泛的影响。该项目将为来自城市和市中心高中的教师提供专业发展，这些学校的学生群体具有社会多样性，经济弱势和代表性不足。教师将发展和磨练他们的研究，沟通和演讲技巧，所有这些都是他们的专业成长和成功必不可少的。该项目将建立教师的技术能力，使他们能够在学校开发和部署网络安全主题。项目团队将通过TeachEngineering数字图书馆、教程和课程材料传播项目成果，供他人采用。
