GenCyber Camp for Secondary School Teachers to be held will be held June 16-21, 2019 at the Virginia Tech Research Center – Arlington (deadline April 20): http://gencyber.ece.vt.edu. Here is a brief description. “Our GenCyber camp will train secondary school teachers in the principles of good cybersecurity practices and the science behind those practices so that they may both teach their students effective practices as well as motivate these students to study cybersecurity in further detail as they move into their chosen disciplines in colleges and universities.”
