Episode Details
Welcome to #CyberChats Season 4!
It’s back-to-school season, and #CyberChats is kicking things off with a special guest: 2025 MCTA CTE Teacher of the Year, Robin Burns! From making cybersecurity feel like a puzzle instead of a textbook, to supporting students in the fast-paced Cyber Feud competition, she’s teaching the next generation how to think differently – like strategists, problem-solvers, and even opponents. Learn more about our guest below.
In this episode, we dive into the idea of adversarial thinking – what it means, why it matters, and how it helps students in the classroom, in competitions, and in life. Whether you’re a cyber student or just curious about the world of cybersecurity, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on how today’s learners are preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
Topics discussed: adversarial thinking, back to school, cyber challenges, cyber learning
