Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity

Young CryptograpHers is a Cybersecurity summer camp specially designed for high school girls. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental principles of cybersecurity and learn how to apply conceptual knowledge to real-world situations. The camp focuses on Post-Quantum Cryptography, the area of math that is in charge of protecting our information in the era of quantum technology. The program includes lectures and activities by FAU faculty, alumni and speakers from industry and government. Our goal is to motivate and inspire talented students who are interested in a cybersecurity career.

We have held the Young CryptograpHers summer camp for three times and we look forward to the fourth edition this year. The first edition was launched in 2019, and saw more than 40 participants coming from a variety of local schools, and extremely diverse backgrounds.
