Focus Groups

Since 2021, Cona Education Foundation hosted a series of focus groups to identify the needs for K12 education in cybersecurity and AI. These conversations uncovered key areas of focus that will guide our next steps in empowering the younger generation with knowledge and skills aligned with today's industry trends.

We are deeply grateful for the insights, time, and expertise of the many industry leaders who participated in this process - their enthusiasm and commitment continue to drive this important work.
