RING (Regions Investing in the Next Generation) is a free online high school cybersecurity course that offers interesting and engaging content specifically for rural students, homeschool students, and students attending schools without an existing cybersecurity program. RING is structured for high school students, grades 9-12. The curriculum has been developed through the National Security Agency’s RING program grant to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). University of Hawaii Maui College is part of a coalition of colleges across the US, supported by funds from the NSA, to teach RING to high school teachers and students. The objective of this presentation is to: 1. Provide a Course Overview of RING 2. Outline the Key Concepts of RING 3. Demonstrate a Sample Lesson - Establishing Trust, Caesar Cipher and Steganography The audience will learn about the core modules in RING, how it applies to students who are new to cybersecurity, and how RING can be an inclusive and friendly space for newcomers to learn about cybersecurity. The presentation will provide live examples from the RING curriculum using the Canvas learning module system. The audience will also benefit from a pathway that extends the learning from RING to more advanced topics in networking and computer security. The presentation will provide a sample lesson plan for teachers, that has been created by high school teachers in Hawaii, to demonstrate how RING can be taught to high school students.
