With the support of Ucom, the first group of participants in the "Cybersecurity Educational Program for Schoolchildren" initiative implemented by the Microsoft Innovation Center in Armenia received their graduation certificates.
The initiative, aimed at schoolchildren aged 14-17, seeks to develop fundamental knowledge about cybersecurity, enhance digital literacy, and encourage safe and responsible behavior in the digital environment.
With the help of experienced specialists from the Microsoft Innovation Center, the schoolchildren became familiar with the basic principles of cybersecurity, modern digital threats, and ways to protect against them. They also acquired practical skills that will help them navigate the everyday digital environment more confidently, from personal data protection to safe online communication.
"For Ucom, it is important to support initiatives that provide young people with theoretical and practical skills for a safe digital future. Today, children and teenagers become active participants in the digital world from a very young age. Our task is to help them be not only active in that environment but also protected, aware, and responsible," said Ucom's CEO Ralph Yirikian.
"At the Microsoft Innovation Center, we have already seen that cybersecurity should be accessible and understandable to every young person, not just those who will choose this field as a profession in the future. When safe digital behavior is formed from a school age, young people use technology more confidently and responsibly. This mindset development is the most important outcome of such initiatives," noted Mari Barseghyan, director of the Microsoft Innovation Center.
During the graduation event, the results of the first group of the program were presented, and the participants shared their impressions and experiences, after which the certificate awarding ceremony took place.
The initiative continues, and after the completion of courses for two more educational groups, a Mini-CTF (Capture The Flag) cybersecurity-themed competition will be organized with the support of Ucom, which will unite all about 70 participants of the program to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical environment:
