CS4CS is a tuition-free, immersive program at a leading engineering university, focusing on hands-on cybersecurity challenges and academic research with a strong emphasis on diversity in STEM.
The CS4CS (Computer Science for Cyber Security) Summer Program at NYU Tandon School of Engineering is a free, full-day program designed to introduce high school students to the fundamentals of cybersecurity and computer science. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, including Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and real-world security challenges. The curriculum covers essential topics such as digital forensics, steganography, "white-hat" hacking, and cryptography. Students will also develop coding skills, learn security-focused scripting, and explore the behavioral science behind threats like phishing scams and identity theft. The program aims to empower a diverse generation of engineers, providing an inclusive environment that breaks down barriers for women and minorities in STEM. Students will have the opportunity to conduct academic research, present at conferences, and build professional networks.
A typical day involves classes taught by NYU faculty and graduate students, hands-on cybersecurity training, scripting and automation exercises, and case-driven security learning, running from 10 AM to 4 PM.
This program is ideal for high school students (entering 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade) with an interest and enthusiasm for STEM, cybersecurity, and computer programming, regardless of prior experience.
