The Gulf Coast Cyber Range (GCCR) is a joint venture of the GBS Institute (501-C3 non-profit) and the Blue Angels Chapter of the Armed Forces Electronics and Communications Association (AFCEA). The GCCR serves K-12 students as an after school STEM laboratory initiative to inspire and prepare students for a cyber career through hands on cyber security training. GCCR includes both a physical space for students to visit after school and a virtual cloud based simulation and training environment to practice cyber security skillsets. The range bridges the gap between Primary and Secondary educational programs within the cybersecurity field by providing hands-on developmental training and practical experience.
