The program introduces students to cybersecurity through hands-on, inquiry-based activities that build a strong security mindset. Female students are strongly encouraged to apply to help address the gender gap in the cybersecurity workforce.<\/p>\n<h3>Topics and Camp Activities<\/h3>\n<p>Students will explore key concepts such as cryptography, digital forensics, Internet of Things (IoT) security, and adversarial thinking. Instruction is based on the TeachCyber.org curriculum and uses cloud-based labs from the UALR Cyber Arena. Activities include team challenges, simulations, and ethical discussions, with skill levels tailored to each student\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n<h3>College and Career Connections<\/h3>\n<p>Participants will learn about UAHT\u2019s Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity, dual-credit opportunities, and industry certifications like CompTIA Security+ and Network+. Guest speakers from regional industries will highlight high-demand cybersecurity careers, particularly in rural and underserved communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Registration is limited to 30 students and is available online.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the UAHT website or contact Brittni Hardie, Camp Director, at 870-216-2919 or brittni.hardie@uaht.edu.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">2026 Snow and Ice at Bobby Ferguson Park Texarkana<\/h2>\n<p>Walking tour of a snowy and icy Bobby Ferguson Park in Texarkana, Arkansas, after the winter storm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Mario Garcia, Townsquare Media<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">Icemageddon 2026 &#8211; Texarkana Photos<\/h2>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Jim Weaver<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">Garvin Woodland Gardens &#8211; Hot Springs, Arkansas<\/h2>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Jim Weaver<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kkyr.com\/cybersecurity-camp-texarkana\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UAHT to Host Cybersecurity Camp for Grades 7\u201311 in June https:\/\/kkyr.com\/cybersecurity-camp-texarkana\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-04 14:22:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210021,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/site\/152\/files\/2026\/02\/attachment-uaht-cybersecurity-camp-canva.jpg?w=1200&q=75&format=natural","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-210020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210020"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210022,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210020\/revisions\/210022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
