B鈥橫ore Secure: GenCyber Train the Trainer
The Towson University Center for STEM Excellence, in partnership with the TU Cyber Center is excited to announce the B鈥睲ore Secure GenCyber Professional Learning Program, designed to support secondary educators in Maryland in engaging their students in learning about cybersecurity.
About the Program
The 2025鈥�2026 B鈥橫ore Secure GenCyber Professional Learning Program is a year-long professional learning community for middle and high school educators in Maryland that will build teacher capacity to integrate cybersecurity concepts into their courses and engage their students in learning about careers and post-secondary opportunities in cybersecurity. We are particularly interested in increasing interest in cybersecurity among students traditionally underrepresented in cyber careers and fields of study (i.e., African America, Hispanic) and strongly encourage educators who work with these populations of students to apply.
No Coding Experience Required
The program is primarily designed for teachers with little to no cybersecurity content knowledge.
Stipend, Computer and Credits
Teachers who successfully complete the B鈥橫ore Secure GenCyber program will receive a $1,200 stipend (must be U.S. citizen or permanent resident), a new computer (which is theirs to keep) and 3 CPD credits.
Applications for the 2025-2026 program will be released in late January, 2025. to receive email notification when registration opens.
