The Curriculum to Broaden Participation in Cybersecurity for Middle School Teachers and Students (CyberMiSTS) project will develop and pilot summer workshops that provide middle school Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to actively engage their students and expose them to cybersecurity concepts and careers. Bringing in cybersecurity expertise from a variety of sources, the CyberMiSTS curriculum will be accessible to middle school students and teachers because it will emphasize the important role of humans in cybersecurity. Teachers will learn from cybersecurity researchers, engage in hands-on activities, and customize cybersecurity course materials for their own classrooms. The CyberMiSTS curriculum will focus on key concepts and big questions to encourage participation from a broad and diverse set of students. Using a design research methodology to develop the training approach, with teachers from the first cohort sharing their experiences and mentoring a second cohort, the project team will study what CTE teachers need to be successful teaching cybersecurity in a middle school classroom. The project builds on lessons learned from a previous SaTC EDU project by incorporating Comic-BEE, a novel online system for creating educational, branching web comics. Branching stories provide opportunities to explore cause and effect. The comic style is engaging to middle school students who are disinclined to read long texts, and can incorporate culturally relevant pedagogy with the potential to reach more students. After the summer workshop, teachers will the materials in their classrooms, and measure student learning and interest in cybersecurity careers with instruments provided by the project team. In the future, workshop materials and curriculum will be offered as an online continuing education course.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该课程，以brochure参与网络安全的中学教师和学生（CyberMiSTS）项目将开发和试点暑期讲习班，提供中学职业和技术教育（CTE）教师的知识，技能和工具，他们需要积极参与他们的学生，让他们接触网络安全的概念和职业。 从各种来源引入网络安全专业知识，CyberMiSTS课程将面向中学生和教师，因为它将强调人类在网络安全中的重要作用。 教师将向网络安全研究人员学习，参与实践活动，并为自己的教室定制网络安全课程材料。 CyberMiSTS课程将侧重于关键概念和大问题，以鼓励广泛而多样化的学生参与。使用设计研究方法来开发培训方法，第一批教师分享他们的经验并指导第二批教师，项目团队将研究CTE教师需要什么才能在中学课堂上成功教授网络安全。 该项目建立在从以前的SaTC EDU项目中吸取的经验教训的基础上，结合了Comic-BEE，这是一种用于创建教育性分支网络漫画的新颖在线系统。分支故事提供了探索因果关系的机会。漫画风格吸引了不愿意阅读长篇文章的中学生，并可以将文化相关的教育学与更多学生的潜力结合起来。夏季研讨会结束后，教师将在他们的教室里学习材料，并使用项目团队提供的工具来衡量学生对网络安全职业的学习和兴趣。 今后，研讨会的材料和课程将作为在线继续教育课程提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
