Teacher-students electing to participate in this program will have zero cost.  In addition, teacher-students will receive a 4GB RAM ASUS-branded laptop loaded with Kali Linux to use during the week’s instruction, and then to take back with them to their various school districts.  The curriculum is to be deployed in a hands-on method inclusive of multiple learning modalities. With this, teacher-students will have the opportunity to gain knowledge from visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles as the teaching modality will be inclusive to reach as many of the different cognitive learning domains as possible.
