PLTW - Honors Cybersecurity 637800HD
Grades 10 - 12
2 Units
Prerequisite: Advanced Computer Repair and Service or Advanced Webpage Design and Development or AP Computer Science Principles
This course provides students with a broad exposure to the many aspects of digital and information security, while encouraging socially responsible choices and ethical behavior. It inspires algorithmic and computational thinking, especially “outside-the-box” thinking. Students explore the many educational and career paths available to cybersecurity experts, as well as other careers that comprise the field of information security. Cybersecurity is designed with strong connections to the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (also known as the NICE Framework or NCWF). Created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), this framework identifies standards that have been developed by numerous academic, industry, and government organizations. The objectives also incorporate many of the big ideas and learning objectives outlined by the College Board and addressed in AP CSP and AP CSA. In addition, the course integrates Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards. This course satisfies the graduation requirement for a computer science credit. *Students can earn AP weight with proficiency score on national exam*
