In a new article by Sue Halpern, The New Yorker takes readers inside the world of GenCyber, a series of summer camps sponsored by the National Security Agency.
They have different areas of focus: the article cites one that addresses car hacking and another which takes campers through an airport hack.

And it’s free for participants, making for a group of campers taken from an impressively wide range of society. “It attracts students from Westchester’s wealthy communities and from districts that are hurting, homeschooled students and others from parochial schools,” Halpern writes.

The article provides a fascinating look inside what goes on at several of the camps. There’s a very pragmatic reason for the NSA to have set up these camps: namely, a dearth of qualified candidates for jobs on the security side of all things online.
Will the campers of today be combating the hackers of tomorrow? That’s what some in government are currently banking on.
