The Andrews Labor Government is preparing students across Victoria to be cyber ready through the state’s Victorian Cyber Schools Skills Challenge, which kicked off this month.
The challenge is the first of its kind in Australia and will connect students with some the country’s leading cyber professionals through an online platform where they will develop solutions to real-life cyber problems.
LifeJourney, the Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE) and Day of STEM partners are delighted to announce Steve Morrill, a leading US educator in Cyber Science, is coming to Australia for the first time to facilitate a series of professional learning opportunities for Australian teachers.
The Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE) has joined LifeJourney’s Day of STEM initiative as a strategic education partner. The ACCE is the national professional body for those involved in the use of information and communications technology in education.
Barker College in Sydney’s north shore is the first school to run the Optus Cyber Security Experience (click here), the latest program available on the Day of STEM platform.
The new program provides students with a unique opportunity to explore careers in cyber security through virtual mentors, take part in a simulated cyber scenario and build baseline skill and knowledge needed to begin a career in the field.
