Building the cyber resilience of the next generation is critical to Ireland’s safety and growth.
ADAPT’s AI in My Life transition year programme on AI, privacy, society, ethics and online safety will now be available as part of the Cyberwise initiative led by the UCD Centre for Cyber Resilience Education.
Similarly, AI in My Life programme schools are invited to participate in the Adventures in Cyberland Competition 2024/25 organised by Cyberwise. This challenge sees schools compete with cybersecurity projects designed to explore the technical, social and political aspects of cybersecurity in our lives.
The ADAPT Centre and UCD Centre for Cyber Resilience Education have linked up as part of the Busting Gender Bias in Computer Science and Cyber Security project funded by Research Ireland’s Discover programme. This initiative is led by Dr Rachel Farrell, School of Education, UCD with co-PI Dr Rob Brennan, ADAPT and School of Computer Science, UCD.
The UCD Centre for Cyber Resilience Education is a leading force in developing comprehensive and accessible cyber-resilience education. Building on successful pilot programmes, like the Cyberwise unior Cycle short course, it brings together the UCD Schools of Education, Computer Science and the Clinton Institute with the support of the National Cybersecurity Centre and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications.
The ADAPT Education and Public Engagement team, led by Laura Grehan, runs the AI in My Life Transition Year programme, which has already engaged with over 3,000 secondary school students nationwide.
