SecureNode
IntermediateAn ESP32-based WiFi intrusion detection device that logs and alerts on unauthorized network access.
Equipping students to
build, secure, and lead.
We gives students the tools, training, and certifications to learn to design and deploy secure engineering systems — from embedded hardware to cyber infrastructure. These are real skills.

Five ways to get involved:
- Cybersentinelz Scholars Funded certification training
We train students for professional certifications in cybersecurity and engineering, then cover the cost of their exams once they complete our courses. No financial barrier should stand between a student and a credential.
- Cyber Ambassadors Student creators who teach
Ambassadors are chapter members who apply to document their workshops and projects on video — building a national library of real engineering content. They produce content from the work they are already doing.
- Cyber Workshops Three tracks of hands-on learning
From networking basics and Linux fundamentals to embedded systems security, hardware hacking, and cyber-physical infrastructure — three progressive tracks open to all chapter members.
- Cyber Chapters School-based chapters worldwide
Chapter boards run curriculum and hands-on projects at their schools. We provide the slide decks, workshop materials, and project handbooks. Teachers and student leaders provide the space and energy.
- Cyber Builds Open-source hardware projects
Guided hardware and software builds students assemble, program, and deploy themselves — from a WiFi intrusion detection device to an encrypted physical messaging system. Each comes with a full open-source handbook.
Build something real
Open-source hardware and software projects with full handbooks. Assemble it, program it, deploy it — then learn why it's secure.
CipherBox
IntermediateA physical encrypted messaging device using two ESP32s and LoRa radio — the Caesar cipher lab taken to a deployable level.
EnviroSentinel
BeginnerA secure IoT environment sensor with encrypted MQTT telemetry to a self-hosted dashboard.
NetWatch
AdvancedA Raspberry Pi-based network traffic monitor with a web dashboard, deployable in a school or library setting.
The student creator pipeline
Cyber Ambassadors are chapter members who apply to document their workshops and projects on video — building a national library of real engineering content. They produce from the work they are already doing.
Content from our founding cohort is in production. Ambassador applications open alongside chapter enrollment.
