Free Cybersecurity Camps
SEMtech, upholding its commitment to enhancing cybersecurity education and awareness,
offers free cybersecurity camps during the summer months. These camps, designed for students
of various ages, provide an engaging and educational environment where par8cipants can learn
about cybersecurity fundamentals, digital safety, and the ethical implica8ons of technology use.
By making these camps free and accessible, SEMtech ensures that a diverse range of students,
including those from underrepresented communities, have the opportunity to develop critical
skills in a rapidly evolving digital world. This initiative aligns with SEMtech's broader mission to
bridge the technology education gap and fosters a future generation of tech-savvy and securityconscious individuals, crucial for the advancement of a safe and inclusive digital society. The
camps are designed for students in middle and high schools.
All camps are 5-day, 20-hour sessions (20 hours of material taught over five days) and will be conducted Monday through Friday during one of the available camp weeks. A host organization can host camps at multiple locations during the same week, but if they wish to host an additional camp during another week, they must pay for the curriculum again.
