Girl scouts can learn cybersecurity through Science Central

Science Central is offering a pair of virtual cyber security programs for Girl Scouts in February and March.

A grant from the Teachers Credit Union Foundation will cover the cost of these programs for interested Girl Scout troops in Allen County. Girl

Scouts outside of Allen County may participate as well for a small fee per program.

The first program, on Saturday, Feb. 20, is for Cadette-level Girl Scouts. The second program, on Saturday, March 27, is for Junior-level scouts.

Hands-on activity kits will allow scouts to learn how computers communicate, strategies for creating a strong password and ways to guard their identities. Leaders of Allen County Girl Scout troops may request this programming by visiting Science Central’s website. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and will be accepted until  grant funds are exhausted. Girls Scouts outside of Allen County can purchase the programming on Science Central’s website.

Kits can be picked up at Science Central on the dates of the programs and can be completed anytime.
