The FBI Denver Division plans to host multiple programs in Colorado and Wyoming this summer, targeting high school students interested in the FBI.

Beginning in June, the FBI will conduct its annual Teen Academies, one-day events where attendees learn about FBI career options, online safety, case presentations and participate in evidence response and SWAT demonstrations.

Around 30 to 40 students will be selected to participate in each Teen Academy, one in Loveland on June 18 and one in Rock Springs, Wyo., on July 10.

Applications are due April 30 and are available online at fbi.gov.

This year, the FBI will also be holding several Cyber Security Teen Bootcamps throughout Colorado and Wyoming – a new program established in 2021.

During each bootcamp, attendees will hear presentations on cybersecurity and have hands-on training with a MacBook Pro, virtual Windows 10 PC, iPhone 11 and Google Pixel phone. Each session will be limited to 10 students.

Bootcamp dates and locations will be determined at a later date. Each bootcamp will be facilitated by FBI Denver Chief Security Officer Michael Mercer, who has over 13 years of experience in cybersecurity and privacy.

Bootcamp applicants should email Community Outreach Specialist Leah Hapner at [email protected] by May 28 with their name, birthday, school name, grade, city of residence and contact information.
