SEL Summer Camp 2024

The Security Engineering Lab conducted a cybersecurity-focused bootcamp that spanned three weeks, from JUly 21st, 2024 to August 8th, 2024. The camp was divided into two different camps: the Malware Camp to learn about the essentials of malware analysis and the Blockchain Camp to learn the fundamentals of blockchain technology. These camps were only open for PSU students and Cybersecurity Club members for free. The participants attended sessions based on the camp where they received an acceptance. After attending all the sessions, the participants worked on the camp's projects in different groups and present their work to the other participants. This aligns with SEL's mission to motivate, educate and train a new generation of cybersecurity researchers and professionals to produce experts in cyber technologies and systems.The objective of this camp is to enable PSU students to learn new skills,give them hands-on experience, and help them practice different cybersecurity topics, including malware analysis and blockchain technology.
