The Computer Science and Cyber Security Program for High School Women
provides a unique opportunity for young women from the NY metropolitan area to
be introduced to career opportunities in the exciting field of Computer Science and
Cyber Security. Qualified students will engage in an educational program covering
the fundamental concepts of Computer Science and Cyber Security, leading to
participation in a nationwide CSAW High School Cyber Forensics Challenge hosted
annually by the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering. For more information on
last year’s event, visit: csaw.isis.poly.edu.
Twenty-two qualified young women from local high schools will be selected to
engage in two weeks of lectures, hands-on training, and day trips in New York City.
The program is designed to introduce the basic ideas and challenges of Computer
Science and Cyber Security to high school students.
The program will include significant hands-on components in an encouraging and
supportive environment. Students will be provided access to an online-accessible
Virtual Lab (VITAL) to facilitate extracurricular and self-learning activities as
students learn to solve problems and to compete in the CSAW challenge. NYU
Polytechnic students and staff will assist with all labs and activities. A formal
letter of completion and evaluation will be provided. Students will also be
given permanent access to a mentor network of the NYU Polytechnic School of
Engineering alumni and affiliates for career and professional resources.
Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to gain exposure in a growing and
increasingly important career field!
