A select number of program events are listed below. Events for 2021 will be open for registration by mid-December!

Brownie Cybersecurity

DEC 8 | 5:30 - 6:30 PM | $5 | BROWNIE | VIRTUAL

Welcome to the world of cybersecurity! We use computers every day to send emails, watch videos, and shop online. Computers are also a part of our lives in many other ways that aren’t as easy to see. Computers power up skyscrapers and streetlights, keep air conditioners and security systems humming, run medical devices in hospitals, control cars and planes, and much more. Cybersecurity is the way we protect all those computers—and ourselves—from crime.

In this event we'll learn the basics of cybersecurity with Fifth Third Bank. Workshop cost includes the price of a badge mailed after the workshop.

Junior Cybersecurity Investigator

DEC 9 | 4:30 - 6 PM | $6 | JUNIOR | VIRTUAL

Cybersecurity Professionals from U.S. Bank will take the lead on guiding Girl Scout Juniors through their Cybersecurity Investigator Badge with interactive activities. Through this workshop, girls will: create and crack a shift cipher code; find out how device updates can help your security; explore identity theft; find out what to do if your identity is stolen; and investigate if a message is real or fake.
