CyberSecure Teens is IgCE's flagship program for Chicago high school students. You'll train hands-on in how networks, systems, and attackers actually operate — then learn to think like a defender.

Along the way we build your resume, prep you for industry certifications, and connect you to a crew of people who are into the same things you are.
