Cyber Wyoming holding girls cyber security bootcamp

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - Cyber Wyoming still has spots to fill for their “teens exploring careers” workshop.

Cyber Wyoming offers a camp for girls to explore their digital world in a career setting.

The week-long event runs from June 16 to 21.

It will focus on cyber security featuring a mock hospital and murder mystery in a creative business firm.

The class will be held at Casper College.

It’s free for high school students from entering first-year students to those graduating.

“It’s really important because there is a major shortage of i-t workers nationwide and in Wyoming. And women have the opportunity to fill that gap. It’s a great job whether you’re going to have a family or not, it’s a wonderful career, and in technology and security, there are so many different areas,” said Laura Baker, President of Cyber Wyoming Alliance.

A grant from Daniel’s fund sponsors the workshop.
