Field trip presentation (Cybersecurity and forensic)
Field Trip
We will not meet in class on the field trip week…. Instead, you will complete one of the following options…
Step 1: Select your location
Option 1: Take a “field trip” to one of the following:
● National Cryptologic Museum (free)
o https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/museum/
● International Spy Museum ($)
o http://www.spymuseum.org/
● National Law Enforcement Museum ($)
o https://lawenforcementmuseum.org/
● DEA Museum (free)
o https://deamuseum.org
● Fairfax County Police Museum – Public Safety Headquarters Building (free)
o https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/news2/police-reports-fingerprinting-and-more-available-soon-in-new-public-safety-headquarters/
● Local or Federal Court House (observe some trials) (free)
● Go on a “Ride-a-long” with a police officer (free) —> HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
● If you have other ideas, feel free to get them approved
You cannot use a previous trip… as with all work, it must be NEW for this semester.
Option 2: Take a “Virtual” field trip to one of the following locations:
● FBI Academy and facilities at Quantico
o http://www.weta.org/tv/local/wetaallaccess/fbi (use other sites for more info)
● Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory
o http://www.rcfl.gov/ (use other sites for more info)
● CIA Museum
o https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/
Step 2: Create your presentation
● Create a PowerPoint presentation
o Include information and pictures about what you did, what you saw, and what you learned.
o Slides should be in your own words.
o There is no minimum or maximum number of slides, just make sure you cover the information sufficiently
o Note: You are given an entire class block of time to work on this; therefore, if you are completing option 2, I would expect your presentation to represent enough detail to show approximately 3 hours of research and development of your presentation. If you are completing option 1, I would assume the bulk of your time would be spent during the experience of your field trip, so I would assume your presentation would not contain as much detail as option 1.
Step 3: Write your speech
● In your PowerPoint, include your speech in the NOTES SECTION (use complete sentences). This would be your presentation/speech if you were to present this to an audience.
● Every slide should have talking points, even if it is an introduction or transition slide.
● Talking points/speech should be in your OWN words.
● Make sure you cite all sources you used for information or pictures either on the slide or in your notes.
Step 4: Submit your presentation
● Compress your pictures before submitting (in PowerPoint, double click on a picture, go to “compress picture” tool, apply to all pictures)
● Make sure your speech is visible in the notes section.
● Make sure citations are visible in the notes section.
● OPTION 1 will receive EXTRA CREDIT POINTS… but you must provide “proof” you were actually there!
o Include your ticket or a picture of you at the location in your presentation.
o For ride-alongs, if you are not allowed to take a picture, include the officer’s card and contact information.
o For court visits, include specific dates and names of cases that can be verified from the court docket.
● Submit on Blackboard
Late work is not eligible for extra credit points.
