(WRDW\/WAGT) &#8211; A coding camp in Augusta is getting local kids excited about cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Kids in grades 4 through 8 are learning about the industry and getting hands-on experience. A professor from Augusta University\u2019s School of Computer and Cyber Sciences is one of their teachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He says they learn computational thinking, ciphers, encryption and coding. They use those skills to code a robotic car platform that they can fully control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cA lot of times with cybersecurity or computer science, everything is just a keyboard and a screen. But with the micro bit and the cute bot, they can actually see what they\u2019re programming. It goes into action,\u201d said Michael Nowatkowski, School of Computer and Cyber Sciences professor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He says he hopes this camp engages these kids and shows them all the opportunities that lie ahead with these skills.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WRDW\/WAGT.
