Student Perspectives of the 2026 Cyber Schools Initiative

We’re halfway through the 2026 Cyber School Initiative, a programme designed to bring the world of Cybersecurity to classrooms across Ireland.

With more schools committed to starting this programme in September, it’s been great to hear the feedback from students who have completed the Initiative. They got the chance to participate in interactive, problem-solving activities to learn what Cybersecurity looks like in real life, creating awareness and building curiousity around Cybersecurity as a career.

Thank you to James Egan, PhD and all our partners and sponsors for helping bring this initiative to schools nation-wide.
