Technology use among teenagers has greatly increased without a concomitant increase cybersecurity skills in this population. Several factors, including lack of standard high school cybersecurity curricula, and lack of cybersecurity awareness among teens, have contributed to teenagers becoming targets of cybercrimes such as cyberbullying. This research aims to leverage the increased technology use of teens to (a) develop a security mindset at the high school level, (b) spread awareness of the risks and threats associated with use of smartphone/tablets and other tech, and (c) inculcate interest in cybersecurity careers (with a long-term goal of addressing the national shortage of cybersecurity workforce). The project seeks to achieve these goals by providing cybersecurity training through interactive, animated visualizations so that students develop an interest in cybersecurity careers. Educators will have access to the educational materials developed which may lead to the better assessment of students' cybersecurity skills. This new interactive animated visualization framework for high school cybersecurity education has the potential for wider, nationwide adoption. As cybersecurity continues to become a national and global security threat, this research will facilitate the development of a new generation of workforce and a safer cyber-environment.The project will develop an innovative teaching plan and pedagogical methods for high school cybersecurity education. The framework will be designed and used in a summer camp setting to help students understand cybersecurity threats, defense, and prevention mechanisms. Open-source smartphone app development tools will be integrated into the curriculum to determine if the framework aids teens in understanding the cybersecurity risks. A series of research questions will investigate the extent to which the "new" curriculum promotes a better understanding of cybersecurity. The effectiveness and rigor of this curriculum will be measured in several ways, including (a) using a task load index to quantify rigor, (b) administering surveys to gain insight about students' motivation and perceptions of cybersecurity, and (c) analyzing students' learning using analytical course rubrics. Deliverables of this project will involve (a) interactive animated visualization based cybersecurity tutorials for summer camp mode delivery to high school students, (b) availability of all tutorials for accessibility to other educators, and (c) publications and meeting presentations to share project outcomes more widely.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.

青少年中的技术使用大大增加了，而没有提高该人群的网络安全技能。包括缺乏标准的网络安全课程以及青少年缺乏网络安全意识的几个因素，导致青少年成为网络犯罪等网络犯罪的目标。这项研究旨在利用青少年的技术使用来利用（a）在高中一级发展安全心态，（b）传播对与使用智能手机/平板电脑和其他技术相关的风险和威胁的认识，以及（c）灌输对网络安全关注者的兴趣（具有解决网络企业的国家短期目标）。该项目旨在通过通过互动，动画的可视化提供网络安全培训来实现这些目标，从而使学生对网络安全职业产生兴趣。教育工作者将可以使用开发的教育材料，从而可以更好地评估学生的网络安全技能。这个用于高中网络安全教育的新的互动动画可视化框架具有更广泛的全国采用的潜力。随着网络安全的继续成为国家和全球安全的威胁，这项研究将促进新一代劳动力和更安全的网络环境的发展。该项目将制定一项创新的教学计划和高中网络安全教育的教学方法。该框架将在夏令营的环境中设计和使用，以帮助学生了解网络安全威胁，防御和预防机制。开源智能手机应用程序开发工具将集成到课程中，以确定该框架是否有助于青少年了解网络安全风险。一系列的研究问题将调查“新”课程在多大程度上促进对网络安全的更好理解。该课程的有效性和严格性将以几种方式衡量，包括（a）使用任务负荷指数来量化严格性，（b）管理调查以了解学生对网络安全的动机和看法，以及（c）使用分析课程进行分析的学生学习。该项目的可交付成果将涉及（a）基于互动动画可视化的互动式网络安全教程，用于向高中生提供夏令营模式的交付，（b）所有教程以供其他教育者访问，以及（c）出版物和会议的演示文稿，以更广泛地分享项目成果。这些奖项通过评估NSF的范围和范围的范围，这表明了NSF的范围及其在范围内的范围。 标准。
