Eddie Teaches IT

Binary is the language of computers! Everything you do on your computer is accomplished using 1s and 0s.

Learn how to count in binary, how to write your name in binary, and how binary relates to cybersecurity. Understanding binary is essential if you want to understand how computers really work. It is also essential for certain cybersecurity and IT roles.

Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE)

Join CCOE, CAREERworks and National Foundation for Autism Research (NFAR) for fun and engaging hands-on challenges designed to help students get cyber ready! “Build a Computer” – students will match and assemble hardware components to understand how computer systems work. This activity is aligned with the CompTIA A+ certification, which is part of the IT training we provide in our programs. “Spot the Hacker” – a phishing game where students review sample emails and decide whether they are legitimate or malicious.

ESET

ESET will be doing a hands-on activity that demonstrates how Cybersecurity Software eliminates digital threats and stops hackers.

San Diego State University

San Diego State University representatives from science and engineering will provide engaging and interactive activities for students and families of all ages. Touch live sea animals, code your own bracelet, build neurons out of pipe cleaners, explore the solar system in virtual reality and more! Learn directly from the SDSU researchers and innovators leading San Diego to new heights in STEM.

U.S.Naval Academy

Midshipmen mentor you through your choice of several hands-on, interactive science and engineering modules for all ages, The diverse subject matter planned includes a range of STEM activities including chemistry, electricity, logic, code breaking, and buoyancy.

National Defense Industrial Association

Unmanned Ground Vehicles, undersea Remotely Operated Vehicle, Factory Automation/Home Security Analog Acquisition System, Artificial Intelligence Display and a Cyber Wheel Quiz. We will describe the STEM benefits of these systems as well as the technology and operation.
We will supervise children as they drive our new joystick operated, low-profile Pathfinder Gen 3 vehicles.
