On May 11, ninety-one CFBISD middle school students attended the #CyberAwareKids event at Ranchview High School. The event was sponsored by Bank of America and the CFBISD Educational Foundation. #CFBISDCyberAware is a full day of gamified, informative workshops that allow students to learn how to solve problems with technology.
Lead by 25 employee volunteers from Bank of America, students learned about Digital Citizenship, Social Engineering, Device Security, and Hackers for Hire in interactive workshops. During lunch, the nonprofit, Seeds to STEM, facilitated a fun chemistry activity with students and volunteers to help them create scented lotion for mother’s day gifts. The day ended with a parent informational session and a speech from Bank of America’s Senior SVP of Global Information Security Executive, Nelson Chevis.
This event marked the first of its kind and CFBISD was happy to be the first district, with Bank of America, to provide such a unique opportunity for our students. At the conclusion of the event, parents and students received door prizes, swag bags, and scholarships to upcoming CFB summer camps.
For more information about our summer camps please go to CFBISD WAM and Destination Discovery.
