For her Cybersecurity 2 project, Jade taught our RISE learners all about strong passwords! Learners had fun sorting examples as “Safe” and “Unsafe” and even the adults walked away with new tips! 😁 #MineolaProud @mineolahs

#GirlsWhoCode and #WiCyS stopped by @MsDiFede 's AP Computer Science A class to help coders debug by giving them their own Rubber Ducky! They were able to adopt and name their own duck to help them solve problems and thing through coding projects! #MineolaProud

AACA club had an awesome turnout as we celebrated Diwali by learning how to make paper lights! Diwali celebrates light over darkness. #MineolaProud

Our WiCyS and Girls Who Code board had a great meeting planning some exciting things for October which is Cybersecurity Awareness month! Make sure to keep listening to the announcements for cyber safety tips! #WiCyS #GirlsWhoCode #MineolaProud

We had a great time learning about cyber law from during #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth We learned consequences of threats and how it impacts the daily lives of people. We learned how our topics reach out into the real world including careers! #MineolaProud

Cybersecurity LOVED using games to learn the concept of encryption in class today! This was my favorite thing learned from #EdCon25 from @cyber_dot_org from @JennyCircello 's talk! We got to work in teams to decrypt and intercept other team's secret codes! #MineolaProud

Thank you @cyber_dot_org for hosting #NationalCyberCup We had 4 classes compete & collaborate in this event!The competition had 200 teams compete and our teams performed well! MHS had 7 teams rank in the top 100 & top 4 ranks: 31st, 35th, 39th, and 40th place! #MineolaProud

Mineola hackers having so much fun doing @cyber_dot_org 's #NationalCyberCup ! We love working in teams and even made an enigma machine out of a Lysol can! #MineolaProud @mmcshane_teach @MsDiFede

I love how you put together such an interactive lesson to bring this unit to life!!!

🏆 This is the National Cyber Cup! Are you ready to capture the flag? Solve cybersecurity challenges September 24-25 to expand your skills in categories like cryptography, encryption, forensics, and more. Make sure to warm up on our practice site: https://t.co/EPHA6oD7yu

Opportunities like this make all the difference! Mineola HS Cybersecurity and Computer Science students started their college classes at Nassau Community College this week. Such an amazing jumpstart on their futures. #MineolaProud #YouBelongHere @MustangRory

In APCSP today, students used a mini-QFT to uncover their questions about data and digital information and guide their learning journey! ✏️💭🚀#MineolaProud

The asynchronous Computer Science courses at @mineolahs are amazing! It’s still possible to enroll, so check out the information below to learn more about the first step in our cybersecurity pathway as well as ways to get college credit through async Python & Web! #MineolaProud

APCSP learners getting to know each other through some Boolean Bingo! #MineolaProud

Huge respect to @v_berkowitz and @MsDiFede for transforming Mineola's CS program. From a school with no real tech classes to one producing CTF competitors and self-taught game devs.

Thank you @cyber_dot_org for the opportunity to share how we do Passion Projects at @mineolahs ! We are so #MineolaProud of our cyber II learners and could not have done this presentation without their hard work and dedication. Fun to present to a full house! @MsDiFede

Thrilled to see @v_berkowitz honored with the https://t.co/j6kUUibG8s Educator Award! A well-earned recognition of her incredible work. #CyberEdCon25 #MineolaProud

This year I am an in-person reader for the AP Computer Science Principles exam! Thank you @mineolahs for giving me this opportunity! I’m looking forward to coming back with a much deeper understanding of the Create Task and exchanging ideas with CS teachers across the country.

Congratulations to everyone who received tenure last night! Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey! The Board's comments on our portfolios were so thoughtful and kind. Grateful and #MineolaProud to be part of this community!
