High Schools
CyberChallenge.IT has more than 600 federated schools across Italy. The Ministry of Education, Universities, and Research, which considers initiatives encouraging young people to study STEM subjects important, promotes the project to all high schools and contributes to Work-School Alternation activities.
For teachers of computer science in an Italian high school, we propose a federation program with CyberChallenge.IT aimed at creating a connection between school and university on the major themes of digital education and cybersecurity.
