Empowering K-12 Educators to Teach Cyber

Join our interest list!

What is Cyber.org?

Cyber.org is part of Cyber Innovation Center which is a 501c3 non-profit organization. They are funded in large part by CISA's CETAP grant which allows them to create and distribute high-quality cybersecurity content at no cost for K-12 educators in the United States and its territories. The goal of Cyber.org is to empower educators as they prepare the next generation to succeed in the cyber workforce of tomorrow.

Over the last ten years, Cyber.org has built a K-12 cyber education program with age-appropriate content that aligns with state standards for education in 25 states and counting. The impact of that work is measured in thousands of educators and students with more content, resources, and training that will fuel the cyber workforce pipeline for the future.

As a Cyber.org partner for Hawai‘i, STEMworks is offering workshops with local facilitators in Cyber.org’s K-12 Cybersecurity Curriculum and Cyber Range. See below for training opportunities!
