The team led by Prof. Kemal Akkaya, with Prof. Selcuk Uluagac and Prof. Giri Narasimhan, has won a new award totaling $250K from the CyberFlorida Pathways program.
The project, Minecraft-based Cybersecurity Professional Development for K-12 Teachers, “aims to pursue a game-based approach building on one of the most popular games amongst teenagers, mainly Minecraft.
Owned by Microsoft, Minecraft has been widely popular with a daily use of almost 3 million users.”It will bring “together experts in cybersecurity and K-12 teacher training to deliver novel, modular,
Minecraft-based, cybersecurity curricula to high school teachers from South Florida, home to three large school districts (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach) that collectively train one of the nation’s largest Hispanic-majority K-12 student populations.”
