The IBM office in Coppell hosts an annual summer event, GIGAWOT, targeting middle school girls. The event is focused at introducing young women to the various areas in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) through fun and interactive activities. The intention is to expose them to the various opportunities in this field and encourage them to pursue a career in one of the STEM areas.

We introduced a Cyber Security section in these exercises through interactive Cryptography and Cyber-BINGO games. The purpose was to spark interest, by educating about the basics and some terminologies, in cyber security and encourage young women to consider a career in Cyber Security.

Delivered a session on "Online Identity Protection" for a group of ~15 in the age range of 50+ who are mostly in a career transition phase.

The workshop covered the following topics:

•	Measures for consumer identity protection in light of recent security breaches (eg. Equifax, Target, Yahoo)
•	Identifying a trustworthy and legitimate website against a fraudulent website
•	Best practices to protect online identity and data (password management, use of public wifi, etc)
