Cybersecurity Taster

Last Friday, a group of Year 9 students attended a Cybersecurity Taster incursion led by Peter from South Metropolitan TAFE. This hands-on workshop introduced students to the basics of cybersecurity, career opportunities in the field, and the certificate courses offered at TAFE campuses.

The session covered key concepts like protecting systems from cyberattacks and included a coding activity that demonstrated the skills needed in this rapidly growing industry. Students were excited to explore hacking techniques, building antennas, and cracking codes, sparking curiosity and engagement throughout the day.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many students expressing newfound interest in pursuing cybersecurity studies. A few even left inspired to consider TAFE certificate courses in the future—what a fantastic learning experience!
