IntroductionAccording to recent projections, by 2025, the cost of cybercrime will increase to $10.5 trillionglobally [1]. Additionally, impacts on emotional and mental health are among the many untoldcosts of cyberviolence, which range from online sexual exploitation and threats of violence tocyberstalking, bullying, and harassment [2] [3]. Ransomware attacks that cease operations andseize data are of particular concern because of the potential for loss of life at scales both smalland large when the attack targets are hospitals, 911

Participation in the program changedparticipant’s sense of STEM self-efficacy such that STEM self-efficacy was higher immediatelyafter completing the summer portion of the program than before participating in the summerportion of the program, when controlling for scores on a diagnostic exam of STEM skills andconceptual prior knowledge (n= 195; t = 2.52, p =.03).

However, notevery school has a teacher who specializes in CS, and many schools do not offer CS courses.

Unfortunately, only around 16% of high school seniors are bothproficient in math and interested in STEM fields [4]. Only 17% of bachelor’s degrees awarded toU.S. citizens are in STEM fields [5], and roughly 30% of chemistry and physics teachers in U.S.public high schools did not major in these fields and

Whenconsidering Black students specifically, evidence shows that despite representing 14.2% of thepopulation [1], they accounted for just 9% of all STEM professionals which includes healthrelated occupations like physicians, and 7% of all bachelor’s and doctoral STEM degrees [2].The Hechinger Report [3] suggests that there has been an overall decline in the number of Blackstudents earning STEM degrees from previous years.

One of the significant advantages of UAS is that they areunmanned, and hence are not regulated as conventional aircraft. The industry demands and thelack of tight regulations permit the UAS market to evolve promptly. In August 2016, the FederalAviation Administration (FAA) issued the Small Unmanned Aircraft Rule (Part 107) concerningthe use of UAS for research, educational, and commercial purposes. These regulations willmature over the years. Thus, it is beneficial to train the future workforce to be fully wellinformed of the current regulations on using UAS with the capabilities
