Analysis and Investigation of Cyber-Based Scenarios (AICS) Cybersecurity Camp
Plano ISD Computer Science Program is partnering with Louisiana Tech to host a free event called Analysis and Investigation of Cyber-Based Scenarios (AICS) minicamp.
AICS gives students the opportunity to take the role of Department of Homeland Security agents, seeing how cybersecurity issues impact national security, cause ethical dilemmas, and impact the world in which we live. Students are given real-world cyber security scenarios where they must work as a team to identify the problem, assess the data and facts, and create a solution. Teams are given a scenario of something that has happened in the world that has risen to the level of national security. They act as analysts tasked with figuring out who did it, how, and what the US response should be. Students do not have to know any background material, and they don’t have to be focused on STEM. Actually having students with a variety of interests is even better.
- When: Saturday, February 25, 9 AM – 2:30 PM (Check in – 8:30 AM)
- Where: Plano ISD Academy High School, 1701 Alma Dr, Plano, TX 75075
- Food Provided: Louisiana Tech will provide donuts, snacks, and lunch for all participants.
- Who: High schools can register teams of 6-8 students (sophomore-senior). Students do not have to only be interested in cyber security – students interested in both liberal arts and STEM are all encouraged. Teachers (Liberal Arts or STEM backgrounds) are encouraged to participate with the students on their team but do not have to. One school can have multiple teams. We actually encourage as many teams as possible so more students are able to participate. We want this to be a friendly competition among the schools.
- What: Learn more details about this event.
- Team Sign Up – Teachers can register your team of students here - AICS 2022-2023 Mini-Weekend Signup
- This event is FREE.

The Book Blurb
The Last Namsara
By Kristen Ciccarelli
In the beginning, there was the Namsara: the child of sky and spirit, who carried love and laughter wherever he went. But where there is light, there must be darkness—and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death-bringer.
These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn’t until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari—a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl.
Asha conquers each dragon and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm. When she’s offered the chance to gain her freedom in exchange for the life of the most powerful dragon in Firgaard, she finds that there may be more truth to the ancient stories than she ever could have expected. With the help of a secret friend—a slave boy from her betrothed’s household—Asha must shed the layers of her Iskari bondage and open her heart to love, light, and a truth that has been kept from her.
Dividing Eden
By Joelle Charbonneau
Twins Carys and Andreus were never destined to rule Eden. With their older brother next in line to inherit the throne, the future of the kingdom was secure.
But appearances—and rivals—can be deceiving. When Eden’s king and crown prince are killed by assassins, Eden desperately needs a monarch, but the line of succession is no longer clear. With a ruling council scheming to gain power, Carys and Andreus are faced with only one option—to take part in a Trial of Succession that will determine which one of them is worthy of ruling the kingdom.
Devotion
Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy’s most famous aviator duo: Lieutenant Tom Hudner, a white New Englander from the country-club scene, and Ensign Jesse Brown, an African American sharecropper’s son from Mississippi. Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighter planes for his country. Jesse became the navy’s first black carrier pilot to defend a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar.
