Aveley’s Year 10 Cyber Security students visited ECU Joondalup to enrich and extend their learning in computer security. This took place in beautiful high tech laboratories adjacent to the lake at Joondalup campus.
The students began their day by completing Digital Forensic activities where they had to track and analyse user log data to find suspicious activity. They then learnt about Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), which is the practice of collecting information from published or otherwise publicly available resources. In this OSINT task, the students were able to analyse images and track down exactly where they were taken from.
Our students also learnt about cyber stalking, spying, counter-terrorism, phishing and scamming, ethical hacking as well as how to protect their online identity. They were also privileged with the opportunity to listen to an ex-NASA employee about the possibilities of STEM careers. Finally, the students visited a Security Operations Lab and were able to observe how it functions in day-to-day operations across all three campuses of ECU.
We received over $500 worth of robotics equipment including MicroBits which classes have already started using. We are very grateful for this equipment.
