Digital Forensics CSI Camp

July 14-19, 2013

Overview

We live in an ever increasing digital age full of cyber-attacks, cyber-espionage, and cyber-crimes that impact our nation’s security, economy, and ability to thrive in a networked-world. Cyber-security personnel are in high demand and the Digital Forensics CSI Camp, conducted by faculty, staff, and students from Auburn's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and Auburn's Information Assurance Laboratory, is offered to rising 9th through 12th grade students interested in the field of digital forensics and information technology.

Participants will gain valuable experience investigating computer crimes, processing digital evidence and employing tools and techniques used by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Working in Computer Science and Software Engineering laboratories, students will begin with a quick overview of computer basics and then begin learning the science and art of investigating computer crimes. Students will learn how to collect and preserve digital evidence using real-life investigative procedures and practice. Students will also have the unique opportunity to meet digital forensic experts and learn about careers in this fast-growing field.

In addition to their work the in computer labs, students will experience campus-life while residing in Auburn's resident dormitories, eating at campus dining facilities, and enjoying evening social and recreational activities. Camp participants will have 24/7 counselor supervision.

Note: Due to the nature of the camp, students should have basic computer skills and be comfortable navigating the windows environment before enrolling.
