About Galantech  &  Mandy Galante

Hi, I'm Mandy Galante -  the founder and owner of Galantech,LLC which was originally developed as a vehicle to provide consulting on cybersecurity curriculum course development for high schools.  Over the years I have been involved in technology learning  in many different ways - as a classroom teacher, as a cyber teams coach, as a summer cyber camp instructor and in workshops for other teachers.  In 2018 I left the classroom and turned my cybersecurity education efforts in a new direction. I am currently the Program Director for US CyberStart programs, including the Girls Go CyberStart competition which is aimed at increasing gender diversity in the cybersecurity industry and giving high school students opportunities to discover their cybersecurity talent. I also consult on cybersecurity education for the state of New Jersey and sit on subcommittees to develop new standards for Computer Science and Information Technology.

So this Galantech.org website will now be a space for teachers to freely share curriculum, resources and tips on teaching cybersecurity.  I'll start but I hope that there will many other contributors to help this site grow!  The only rule for sharing is that the materials must conform to a Creative Commons license and must not infringe on any copyrights.
