The UAB Department of Justice Sciences and Department of Computer and Information Sciences are hosting a summer camp for local area high school students to learn what it is like to be professionally involved in computer forensics.
Over the course of Cyber Detectives Camp, students received hands-on training on how to fight cybercrime. The first session was held on June 20-24 in a series of all-day sessions for 20 high school students in grades 10-12 from several local high schools. This was the first Cyber Detectives Camp, although UAB has hosted several summer camps covering computer forensics and programming in the past. The camp is part of UAB's goal to get pre-college students interested in pursuing careers in technology fields.
