For Teachers

Computer Science Education Week.

Take part in this interactive cyber security activity with your class. You'll investigate suspicious activity at a ferry company and see if you can uncover a conspiracy to import counterfeit trainers.

As part of Computer Science Education Week, learners will get hands on and try their hand at Open Source Intelligence gathering (OSINT), an important cyber security reconnaissance technique.

OSINT uses legal and cutting edge methods to discover publicly available information about a subject. You'll use standard OSINT methods to discover all that we can about the inner workings of Broughty Ferries and hopefully be able to confirm or deny their involvement in illegal activity.

These training sessions will look at the different resources created by Skills Development Scotland for delivery in the classroom ranging from Ethical Hacking, Digital Forensics, Software development and also looking at our Virtual Engagement Best Practice Guide for virtual engagement with learners.

Each session will be different and will cover different topics.

This event is available on 2 days:

Tuesday 14^th December – 10am until 11.30am
What will be covered? NPA Cyber Security content – resources co-created by industry covering the 3 elements of the NPA – Ethical Hacking, Digital Forensics & Data Security.
