Basically the title - for the fifth year in a row we're offering a paid virtual professional development opportunity for K-12 educators (preference on Middle & High School Level) who are looking to learn more about foundations of cybersecurity. Sequence of events:
We ship you some micro:bits (a few before, classroom set later if you want),
You engage with us and our team virtually in a mix of synchronous and asynchronous activities for a week (July 10-14)
You get paid ~1K (about $600 for the week then $400 if you choose to submit materials for our open-access collection)
Bonus: - optionally meet up with us throughout the year if you would like any assistance/discussion on implementation/other supports (we've done AMAs with classes, served as technical support/mentors/technical review panels etc).
Interested? Quick Google Form Sign Up - wycsx.org/gencyber23 ;
Context/Source: I'm the PI on this NSA/NSF funded GenCyber Wyoming grant - AMA.
edit: verified details, spelling.
Update #1 - based on some DM questions:
Any US-based educator is welcome to apply
Yes, you get paid - you don't pay us.
No prior experience/ knowledge about cybersecurity or CS is required
