About this camp

DecTech's "The Cyber-Sentinels" camp is designed for middle schoolers (grades 6-7) to delve into the exciting world of machine learning and network defense. Campers will learn to design tower defense games where enemies adapt using machine learning, providing a hands-on approach to understanding AI. The curriculum also focuses on cybersecurity, introducing concepts like authentication (passwords vs. biometrics) and securing game data. A key project involves developing a "Firewall Defender" game where students train an AI model to distinguish between "Safe Data" and "Malware" sprites. This immersive experience helps students build games resilient against cheats and exploits, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun, interactive environment.
