cyber security education. Cyber security can be a very dry topic for K-12 students if the concepts are not introduced through hands-on activities. However, providingstudents with exciting hands-on experiences in cyber security topics is also challenging for manyreasons.

Such IT policies severely limit the types of hands-on activities that can be performed on traditional computer laboratories. Therefore, theCollaborative Virtual Computer Laboratory (CVCLAB) was used to provide participants a safelearning environment without the threat of harming real computers on the network or breaking theUniversity IT policies.
