From June 15th to the 18th, North Schuylkill high school teacher, Richard Gober, led thirteen curious middle-school-age students through a four-day investigation of Computer Forensics. The camp was sponsored by Bloomsburg University and Luzerne County Community College, financed through a 2+2+2 Workforce Leadership grant.
Students were guided through fun, hands-on and computer-based experiments which allowed them to gain a better understanding of the foundations of this growing field. The camp culminated with a field trip to Bloomsburg University and more activities, this time led by Dr. John Riley, professor of math, computer science and statistics.
A goal of the camp is to spark interest in computer forensics (which is increasingly being called digital forensics)and future enrollment in North Schuylkill's own computer forensics course and the 2+2+2 program available to North Schuylkill students.
