Details

The goal of this project is to help the Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) prepare its innovative Cybersecurity Fair platform for public launch. The Fair is an interactive, peer-learning environment where students teach each other practical cybersecurity micro-skills — a scalable, low-cost model to raise digital awareness and resilience across campuses.

Student teams will focus on testing, improvement, and pilot design to ensure the platform is secure, effective, and engaging. Through hands-on evaluation and structured reporting, the team will connect cybersecurity principles with real-world educational deployment.

Key Objectives:

  1. Conduct a cybersecurity and usability audit of the Cybersecurity Fair prototype, identifying vulnerabilities, privacy risks, and accessibility issues.
  2. Design and document a pilot launch plan, including test procedures, feedback collection, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
  3. Evaluate learning effectiveness — does the content help users understand emerging threats like AI-assisted psychological exploitation (AIPEx) and social engineering?
  4. Deliver an implementation readiness report summarizing system health, educational quality, and risk mitigation priorities.
  5. Develop a professional presentation package suitable for executive review and potential university partners.

By the end of the project, students will produce a set of practical, adoption-ready recommendations that strengthen FIA’s ability to deliver cybersecurity literacy to thousands of college students, especially women, in a fast-changing digital threat landscape.

Deliverables

This project will help the Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) prepare its Cybersecurity Fair platform for a successful campus rollout. Students will serve as a real-world QA and cybersecurity testing team, assessing usability, reliability, and data security while developing metrics and reporting tools to guide improvements. The work will culminate in an informal pilot test that validates findings and ensures the system is ready for a formal launch.

Expected Outcomes:

  • A comprehensive QA and usability audit identifying technical and experiential gaps across the Cybersecurity Fair platform.
  • Documentation of cyber risk and resilience vulnerabilities, including privacy, authentication, and reliability issues.
  • Development of monitoring and KPI frameworks to track engagement, uptime, and incident frequency.
  • Recommendations for improving user experience, accessibility, and platform integrity.
  • Execution of an informal pilot test to observe system behavior in real-world student interactions.

Deliverables:

  1. QA & Usability Testing Report — Summarizes all identified bugs, usability issues, and proposed fixes.
  2. Cyber Risk & Resilience Snapshot — Brief threat model highlighting critical vulnerabilities and mitigation options.
  3. Monitoring & KPI Framework — Metrics for reliability, data protection, and user engagement tracking.
  4. Incident Response & Troubleshooting Guide — Playbook for handling issues during student testing.
  5. Informal Pilot Summary Report — Documents pilot setup, student experience, and readiness for formal deployment.
  6. Executive Presentation Deck — Synthesizes findings, recommendations, and next steps.

This project allows students to practice applied cybersecurity analysis, QA testing, data monitoring, and usability evaluation while supporting FIA’s mission to protect women from emerging digital and AI-enabled threats through accessible, peer-led education.
