Upperclassmen: Research Projects & Leadership Experience
Cyber Arts participants gain a unique differentiator amongst the thousands of applicants flooding computer science and engineering collegs each fall.
Most applications contain AP Computer Science, robotics competitions, or cybersecurity competitions. What do these applications not have? - a research project in cybersecurity.

Underclassmen: Foundation of Cybersecurity
The technical skills and theoretical knowledge gained at Cyber Arts are critical building blocks in your computer science and engineering journey.
Most coding camps ignore vital skills in computer science education and focus on block coding, Python, Java, or JavaScript. While these subjects are important, there are critical topics Cyber Arts teaches to students such as Linux, operating systems, and understanding of how the Internet actually works.
