A Maker Approach To Learning Cybersecurity And Biometrics

• In Event: TIL- Creative Approaches to Technology Integration (h)

Short Description

Cybersecurity courses are challenging to teach and learn due to the often abstract and highly technical nature of the course. Bridging the gap between technical theory and practical implementation is frequently problematic. Makerspaces have become an increasingly important resource in experiential, project-based education. They provide students with an opportunity to create tangible representations, or prototypes, of their ideas for solving complex problems. These prototypes help students to both visualize problem solutions and improve their functionality.
