HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS - FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN YEARS 7 TO 12 

ECU's School of Science: Computing and Security invite high school students to join us for a day of investigations, analysing and scrutinising information at our Security and Intelligence workshop. 

Join us as we learn about investigation techniques, and ways in which we can obtain information and learn simple security methods. The day will start with three workshops designed to build your skills in obtaining intelligence through various techniques such as online intelligence gathering, profile creation and attention to details. Then in the afternoon, you’ll be asked to put your newly acquired skills to the test to uncover and disrupt a sinister plot.
