This page contains educational modules for teaching cybersecurity with SPHERE research infrastructure. Most of the modules were developed thanks to the NSF funding (awards #0920719, #1319197 and #1723717) and others were contributed by teachers from all over the world. The modules were used by more than 200 classes, and have benefited more than 22,000 students since 2010.
