Integrating the National Cyber League (NCL) into the College Classroom

Thursday June 25, 2026 8:45am - 10:25am CDT

BLDG T-701

The National Cyber League (NCL) provides a powerful platform for students to develop applied cybersecurity skills through real-world challenges, yet many faculty members new to teaching cybersecurity are unsure how to incorporate it effectively into their courses. This interactive workshop is designed to bridge that gap by guiding educators through practical strategies for integrating NCL into the college classroom. Over the course of 1 1/2 hours, participants will engage in hands-on activities that model how NCL exercises can be aligned with course objectives, assessment strategies, and student learning outcomes. The session will begin with an overview of NCL’s structure, resources, and competition format, followed by collaborative exercises where attendees will design sample lesson plans and classroom activities that leverage NCL challenges. Participants will also explore methods for scaffolding student engagement, fostering teamwork, and connecting NCL experiences to broader curricular goals. Ample time will be provided for Q&A and peer discussion, ensuring that attendees leave with actionable ideas tailored to their own teaching contexts. By the end of the workshop, educators will gain confidence in using NCL as a tool to enrich cybersecurity education, enhance student motivation, and provide experiential learning opportunities that prepare students for success in both academic and professional settings.
