UTeach AP Cybersecurity

Learning Community, Curriculum/Lessons

Funding Available for Texas Teachers!

In this relevant, project-based curriculum, students explore core cybersecurity skills through practical lessons focused on topics like risk assessment, data security, cyberattacks, and more. Students connect classroom learning to real-world application with unit projects, easy-to-understand videos, collaborative research activities, and hands-on labs. Throughout the units, students collect clues to unlock a unique password that stops a cyber attack from the fictional hacker group Anomalous and saves the world.

The UTeach Cybersecurity curriculum, developed in collaboration with Teach Cyber, is based on the High School Cybersecurity Curriculum Guidelines (HSCCG) designed by a team of educators and cybersecurity experts in partnership with the National Cryptologic Foundation. With the College Board’s recent release of the finalized AP Cybersecurity course framework, we’re thrilled to share that our curriculum will be fully aligned with AP Cybersecurity beginning in 2026–27.

"This is by far the best Cybersecurity curriculum I've accessed. It allows me to concentrate on what students need instead of lesson planning!" — Texas Teacher
