Welcome to the 2020 Analysis and Investigation through Cyber-Based Scenarios (AICS) Camp.
AICS is a week-long residential program with a national intelligence focus in the context of cyber, consisting of discussion sessions using a scenario-based approach to security issues, hands-on computer science labs, a cryptographic component, film sessions, and a final challenge each of which integrates the history, ethical issues, applications, and theory behind the development of analysis and synthesis of information in the context of threat assessment to critical systems.
AICS is a team based camp. Teams are selected by participating high schools and consist of 6 students and 2 teachers, one from a STEM discipline and one from a Liberal Arts discipline. Teams will work together as field agents for homeland security to solve each day’s cybersecurity scenario which could involve a state, national, or international cyber threat. The goal is to determine who, how, and what the response should be for each day’s scenario. Students will be expected to present their solutions at the end of each day.
This year’s camp will be held on the University of Central Arkansas campus from June 21-26th. To register go to uca.edu/camps.
