Cybersecurity, one of the most important challenges of our era, is a
completely transversal field since it affects any type of system and
information technology. This teaching innovation project establishes a
series of lessons with theoretical-practical content complemented by
lessons with purely practical content to provide a solid foundation of
knowledge of different branches of cybersecurity through learning
techniques based on educational gamification. Specifically, various
monthly activities are carried out during the academic year following
the Capture The Flag format, which are competitions that allow
testing the technical abilities of participants in different fields of
cybersecurity. These activities will be complemented with an initial CTF
(so that the participating students know the mechanics of work) and a
final CTF (to evaluate the progression of the students). In addition to
acquiring skills and abilities related to cybersecurity, this project
improves other transversal skills of students such as teamwork,
creativity and communication skills.
