Why attend the CyberCamp?
Do you have an interest in cybersecurity and computers? Are you a beginner and would like to learn more about securing networks and hardening Operating Systems? The CyberCamp is the perfect first step towards learning more about cybersecurity!

Do I need any special skills or previous knowledge to attend the CyberCamp?
Camp attendees do not need to have any special skill set to participate in the CyberCamp. Some very basic knowledge of computer hardware (knowing how to use a mouse, start a monitor, can identify Windows start button icon, etc.) is helpful but not necessary. A basic English reading level is essential as many individual and group labs and activities are written directives and students must work alone and with small groups to accomplish tasks. The most important skill to possess is the passion to learn and a positive attitude!

Need to Relax? #WellnessWednesday

The end of the school year can be pretty stressful!

Take a time out. Find a nice quiet place to sit, put on your headphones, and watch one (or two) of these videos to help bring calm to your thoughts and emotions. 

See one of the school counselors if you need to talk!

Have a great day red devils!

Skeleton Crew Communtiy Dinner @ ARTS

Join us for a  special Globe for All Tour and West Coast premiere of Skeleton Crew.

By Dominique Morisseau
Directed by Delicia Turner Sonnenberg
In Association with MOXIE Theatre

Times are tough in 2008 Detroit, but there’s still one working auto plant. The long hours and demanding shifts have turned the line workers into a family. The firm, compassionate Faye holds them together, and she’s only months away from retiring with her full pension. But when she discovers that management has a new plan, she’s torn between self-preservation and allegiance to her coworkers.

The Old Globe is taking a production off our stage and on the road to share with our San Diego neighbors a funny, engaging, and timely theatrical experience. We’ll have a free
community dinner before the show, theatre workshops for kids ages 5–13, and of course, a great production to enjoy. This production is recommended for ages 13+ due to adult language.

RSVP TODAY by using this promo code ARTS.  You must have a promo code to reserve your tickets.

Limited seating, and RSVP required. Tickets to this special event, including the dinner, production, and kids workshop, are FREE.

UCSD School of Medicine Health Sciences Mentor Assistance Program (MAP) for High School Students

The UCSD San Diego Supercomputer Center and the UCSD School of Medicine Health Sciences Division is once again offering the Mentor Assistance Program (MAP) for High School Students

Fall 2017 - Spring 2018
Student Application Period: May 1- June 4, 2017

UC San Diego’s Mentor Assistance Program (MAP) is a campus-wide program that engages high school students through a mentoring relationship with an expert from a vast array of campus disciplines and departments. MAP’s mission is to provide a pathway for student researchers to gain access to UCSD faculty, postdoctoral fellow and staff mentors in their own area of interest to complete a research project (i.e. independent study, class projects or Science Fair projects). MAP is an opportunity for students to take the first step into a potential career path, allowing them to build an early foundation for success in their academic and research career.

The program reaches out to all students and makes an effort to reach out to underserved students who are seeking mentors to guide them with their research and career interests. We strive to recruit mentors from across campus who work in fields as varied as aerospace and psychology to athletics and bioinformatics. Students refer to the MAP website for mentor bios and research interests and through an online application process request to be paired with a mentor who best matches their research interest and career goals. By volunteering 2-4 hours per week during the school year, the program allows students to become familiar with a particular lab or work place from fall of this year through spring of next year. Such an experience is often very difficult for an underserved student to obtain and this program attempts to bridge that gap.

For complete information about the MAP program and to access the online application, please visit http://education.sdsc.edu/studenttech/?page_id=2393.

For questions, please contact Ange Mason of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (amason@ucsd.edu) or Kellie Church of the School of Medicine (kbchurch@ucsd.edu).
