Survival Networking Camp: Rebuilding the Digital World
July 7 @ 9:00 am – July 11 @ 2:00 pm
This zombie-themed camp will give students the opportunity to design and build a fully functioning Local Area Network. Learn the skills to reconnect humanity and restore digital civilization!
The Zombie Apocalypse Has Happened!
It’s here. The nightmare has come to life—a full-scale zombie apocalypse. The world as we knew it has crumbled, and the chaos outside is unimaginable. But you and a small group of survivors have managed to find one another amidst the madness. Through countless close calls and near misses, you’ve banded together, evading the relentless zombie hordes, always on the move, always searching for safety.
After days of scouring the ruins of a decimated city, your group has been making its way toward the suburbs. Finally, your group has stumbled upon a building that seems to defy the chaos. It stands sturdy, with thick walls offering protection against the ravenous undead. As you cautiously enter and explore, you find a room unlike anything you’ve encountered so far—though disheveled, it contains an array of devices that appear to be functional computers, networking equipment, and what seems to be a treasure trove of supplies.
This could be it. The break you’ve all been praying for.
The group quickly realizes that if you can build a working network here and, hopefully, connect to the Internet (if it still exists), it might be the key to surviving and possibly thriving in this new, hostile world. With the resources you’ve found, the dream of reconnecting to a network—maybe even reaching out to other survivors—could become a reality. If the infrastructure of the outside world hasn’t entirely been destroyed, this is your chance to contact others, share knowledge, and perhaps start to rebuild what’s been lost.
But it’s not going to be easy. While the equipment does not seem too old, unfortunately, the equipment is in total disarray, and you have no way of knowing if the outside world is still even remotely functional. And the ever-present threat of zombies lurks just beyond the walls, making every move fraught with danger.
But there is hope. If you succeed in building a local network here and connecting to the Internet (if it still exists), you can connect with others who might be doing the same thing. There could be safe zones, hidden pockets of humanity waiting to be discovered. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to band together and start pushing back against the undead nightmare that’s taken over.
The road ahead is very uncertain, and time is running out. But for now, you have a single mission: to build a network that could change everything. It’s a long shot, but it’s the only shot you’ve got.
The clock is ticking. Will you be able to make your dream of connecting with the outside world a reality? Only time will tell. The fate of humanity might rest in your hands.
Since the zombie apocalypse has occurred, this camp will instruct you on rebuilding a local network which may then be connected to the Internet, IF it still exists!
Students will learn about:
- Rebuilding a Local Network (IF it still exists!)
- Constructing Ethernet Cables
- Windows Local Network Configurations
- Larger Network Devices (like Cisco)
- Improving Your Networking Environment
