Inspiring the Next Generation of Cybersecurity Experts

Last term, UTC Plymouth had the privilege of taking a group of their Year 8 and 9 students to the Cyber Horizons Event hosted by South Devon College. The day was packed with hands-on activities, problem-solving challenges, and inspiring insights into the world of cybersecurity.

A Day of Discovery and Innovation

Code-Breaking Adventures
Students dived into exciting challenges, such as cracking codes to unlock a LEGO safe. They also explored the groundbreaking work of Alan Turing and the Enigma Machine, gaining a glimpse into the history and importance of cybersecurity.

Igniting Career Aspirations
The event left a lasting impression on the students, with many expressing newfound interest in pursuing careers in cybersecurity. In today’s digital age, this field is more vital than ever, offering endless opportunities to make an impact.

Looking Ahead

As we start a new term, UTC Plymouth excited to build on this momentum. Events like these are crucial in inspiring young minds and equipping them with the skills and confidence to explore cutting-edge fields. UTC are committed to providing more opportunities for students to engage with technology, engineering, and innovation.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success, and well done to our students for embracing the challenge!
