Each project is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse student body, ensuring representation from historically underrepresented groups in cybersecurity careers.”

Did you know the demand for cybersecurity professionals is expected to grow by 35% between 2021 and 2031? This surge spans across all industries, but education is particularly in need. In North Dakota, schools are taking proactive steps to incorporate cybersecurity teachings into their curriculum by 2025. This initiative can be implemented through a one-credit course or an integration plan that covers cybersecurity standards at all grade levels. Fargo Public Schools and Grand Forks Public Schools are leading the charge. They’ve developed integration plans focusing on vertical alignment, which ensures students are introduced to digital citizenship standards early. This prepares students for future careers and fosters a culture of safety and responsibility in the digital age. #cybersecurity #cybersecuritycareer #edtech #schoolsafety #ativion https://ow.ly/FBIB50SRAp2

#NorthDakota has made history as the first state in the United States to enforce #cybersecurity education across all grade levels in K-12 schools. Students will need to either enroll in a standalone course or fulfill the school's integration plan for cybersecurity and computer science education. This pioneering initiative aims to provide students with the technological exposure necessary to acquire digital skills and knowledge crucial for success across a multitude of sectors in both present and future job markets. By doing so, it seeks to equip graduates to leverage the growing opportunities in cybersecurity and information technology-related fields.

Mr. P, my 8th grade Honors History teacher, taught me the lesson of having to work twice as hard as those who are privileged. Mr. P required all homework to be typed and printed. If the assignments were handwritten, it would be subject to a grade drop. No matter how great the content was, it would be knocked a grade because it wasn't typed and printed. Everyone in the classroom had a computer; some had more than one. I didn't have a computer. At the time computers were $3,000, I know I look young, my Oil of Olay is doing its job 😂. My family barely had money for food, so how was I supposed to afford a computer and printer??? I explained to Mr. P that I didn't have a computer. He suggested I use a typewriter. I don't know what made this man think we could afford that 😂🙄! He suggested I do the extra credit work to bring my grade up. This meant I could never compete with my classmates for valedictorian because if I did the extra credit, and they typed up their homework and did the extra credit, they would receive 110% and I'd receive 100%. I decided to stay after school, use the computer lab, and take a two hour ride home on public transportation just so that I could keep up with my classmates. This was exhausting as an 8th grader, but it taught me not everyone is dealt the same cards and if you want something you have to figure out how to get it. No excuses. #teachers #privilege #education #AskVeronica Cisco Duo Security Intel Corporation McAfee FireEye, Inc. Mandiant (now part of Google Cloud)
