๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’ป Cybersecurity Club Kicks Off Its Second Meeting of the Semester! ๐Ÿš€
On September 16, 2026, our Cybersecurity Club was back in action! ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธโšก

This week's goal was to help members set up Docker on their personal computers, laying the foundation for building their own home lab servers. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿณ Home labs provide a safe environment for students to develop hands-on cybersecurity and system administration skills.
To put those skills to the test, we worked with OWASP Juice Shop, a deliberately vulnerable web application packed with real-world security challenges and learning opportunities. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”“ Members explored vulnerabilities and began learning how cybersecurity professionals identify and address security issues.
As with any technology project, we encountered a few troubleshooting challenges along the way! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜„ To keep everyone moving forward, members were able to use a preconfigured MacBook running Docker and OWASP Juice Shop while we worked through installation issues.

๐Ÿ“š Before our next meeting, members will receive step-by-step installation guides tailored to their operating systems so everyone can get their home labs up and running.
It's exciting to see our students gaining practical, hands-on experience and building the cybersecurity skills that employers value. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”

Interested in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, digital forensics, or just learning more about protecting information online? Join us!
๐Ÿ“… When: Wednesdays at 3:30 PM
๐Ÿ“ Where: MMCS 130
๐ŸŽ“ Who: All APSU students are welcome!
Come connect with fellow students, develop new skills, and explore the exciting world of cybersecurity.

๐Ÿค–๐Ÿพ Connecting Technology and Community! 9/9/2026, the Clarksville Civitan Club welcomed Dr. James Church and Professor Ethen Carrell as guest speakers to introduce the CSIT Department and Booldog, CSIT's robotic dog. The presentation sparked engaging conversations about robotics, artificial intelligence, and the future of assistive technologies.

Attendees asked thoughtful questions about whether Booldog's movements and behaviors are inspired by real animals and how close robotic companions may be to supporting individuals with disabilities. ๐Ÿฆพ๐Ÿ’ก

Booldog quickly became a crowd favorite, delighting the audience with several impressive demonstrations and tricks throughout the event. ๐Ÿ•

๐Ÿค– The visit also provided an opportunity to showcase the innovative research and hands-on projects being conducted by CSIT faculty and students in robotics, AI, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies.

Thank you to the Clarksville Civitan Club for the warm welcome and engaging discussion! ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ“… September 12, 2026 | ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿค– We kicked off our Fall 2026 Saturday Program with Class 2: Code Your Own ROBLOX Games! ๐ŸŽ‰

Students in grades 6-12 took their first steps into the exciting world of computing and game development by learning how to create their own ROBLOX experiences. From designing virtual worlds ๐ŸŒŽ to bringing interactive ideas to life โœจ, participants explored the fundamentals of coding while unleashing their creativity.

A special thank you to our instructor, Jackson, who did a fantastic job guiding students through the game creation process. ๐Ÿ‘ His enthusiasm and hands-on approach helped make learning both engaging and fun. Students asked great questions, experimented with new ideas, and gained valuable skills that can serve as a foundation for future studies and careers in technology.

We are excited to see what these young developers create in the weeks ahead and look forward to another great semester of inspiring the next generation of innovators, programmers, and technology leaders! ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’ก
