Description

JCU and Youth Tech SG collaborated to give five young adults an insight into what it's like being an academic in the cybersecurity discipline. The students came from Singapore's polytechnics and other local universities, to learn about life as an academic, from teaching and research through to public engagement. I was host for the day-long event, and with the help of colleagues from the careers team, learning centre and my research students, gave the participants a chance to learn what it's like to prepare teaching content, and what's involved in ethically performing cybersecurity research, publishing your work, and having a meaningful impact.
