The CyberTeens Workshop is
1 / Quick
2 / Available
3 / Entertaining
Lets be honest: Young adults resort to minute long videos for quick information. TikTok, Youtube, etc. (Whether we like it or not). This workshop provides a collective, structure for them to learn.
What if kids and teens didn't need to invest a lot of time to pique their interests in cybersecurity?
Well, here we are.
Most programs that specifically teach our youth are only available for a week in the summer. And that's not even considering their limitation to one location. What about the remaining 51 weeks?
What if you could access that information 24/7, from the phone in your hand, the tablet on your lap, or the laptop at home?
Well, here we are.
MOST cybersecurity resources are extremely dry, highly technical, and are at a collegiate (college) level. That's unacceptable.
What if there was a website that spoke to students using a social media -like approach? (e.g. pop culture, music, & entertainment)
Well here we are

What is it?This quick, fun quiz is intended to help kids and teens know what they would be most interested in regarding cybersecurity. The names of each team member are kid-friendly and easy to understand. These are based on real roles in the cybersecurity profession. So, it's not like it's made up for farts and giggles lol.
-
How to use it?Answer the questions as honestly as you can. There are no correct answers. Do not try answering based on what you want to score. The idea is to be truthful so you can see what you may currently enjoy doing. Of course, if there is a title you specifically want, I encourage you to read up on it and learn what you can from there. These are just a suggestion. This is most helpful for kids and teenagers who think they may be interested but don't know where to start or even what cybersecurity is.
-
Who is it for?Similar to most resources on this website. This quiz is designed simply for 12-18 years olds. If you are older and want a similar test using more professional terms. Be patient, as it's in development on CyberBennett.com.
