Over £740,000 of Welsh Government Tech Valleys funding will help inspire thousands more children across Southeast Wales to explore cyber security careers.
The National Digital Exploitation Centre (NDEC) will use the investment to expand its cyber security education outreach programme to 10,000 learners across the region.
NDEC delivers interactive activities on digital forensics, cybercrime and internet safety for primary school children.
The funding will enable bilingual delivery, introduce new training on AI and sustainability, and help address barriers like transport and equipment costs for schools in disadvantaged areas.
Delivered by Thales and the University of South Wales, and supported by the Welsh Government, the programme encourages young people to pursue education and careers in cyber security and computing.
The expansion builds on the success of the first phase, which reached 216 schools and 20,000 learners across Southeast Wales.
