Cyber Bootcamp: Think, Defend, Secure – Full Day Years 7-12
Students work in a team and use their problem-solving skills to successfully complete a scenario-based cyber security problem solving activity, based on a current industry scenario. Students will have access to our dedicated cyber security SOC and learning facilities.
Students will be introduced to the principles of Cyber Security and provided with case studies to learn about Blue Team and Red Team Ethical Hacking. Unpacking how to work in a red team blue team environment to protect data and information for a client.
Teams will use communication protocols and roles to establish ways of working to reach an outcome. This learning opportunity can be delivered face to face or online to students.
Cyber Strike– Full Day Years 7-12
In Cyber Strike, students will step into the roles of cyber attackers, learning firsthand the strategies and techniques that underpin real-world cyber security. The session begins with the Questacon Cyber Team Red tabletop activity, where students collaborate to tackle simulated cyber challenges, thinking like a red team member while developing teamwork and essential cyber skills. Following this, students will engage in collaborative discussions, reflecting on their chosen strategies, identifying strengths, and exploring areas for improvement. They’ll also gain insight into cyber security careers, discovering the skills and pathways needed to thrive in this fast-growing industry. This engaging, hands-on session bridges practical problem-solving with industry knowledge, equipping students with valuable critical thinking and communication skills.
Capture the Flag – Full Day Years 10-12
This program introduces students to cyber skills used in Capture the Flag scenarios, culminating in a simulated CTF challenge. It is recommended for students studying cyber security or as a follow-up to Cyber Bootcamp.
