Repository
We provide access to the datasets and open-source software developed as part of the research conducted in the Paul A. Hotmer Family Cybersecurity and Teaming Research (CSTAR) lab. Following is a list of available resources, some of them are readily accessible while others could be accessed after a request.
InviteCyber Modules (Funded by National Science Foundation Awards #1903419 and #1903423)
SaTC: EDU: Collaborative: INteractive VIsualization and PracTice basEd Cybersecurity Curriculum and Training (InviteCyber) Framework for Developing Next-gen Cyber-Aware Workforce
Researchers at CSTAR lab along with partners at multiple universities including Purdue University Northwest, and Fairfield University developed several modules for use at the high school level. This is open source and free to use for high school students and teachers. Here is a link to the project website:

High School Teachers may request the project team (listed on website) or me for lesson plans that were developed for the modules.
CyberMUG Modules (Funded by National Science Foundation Awards #2021264 and #2021345)
Cybersecurity Modules Aligned with Undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering Curricula
Researchers at CSTAR lab along with partners at multiple universities including Purdue University Northwest, Michigan Technological University, and Fairfield University developed several modules for use at the undergraduate level. These modules could be integrated seamlessly in several undergraduate courses and introduce students to cybersecurity at multiple levels. This is open source and free to use for students and teachers. Here is a link to the project website:
