Anaheim, California – The Moreno Valley Unified School District in Riverside County, California, recently opened its Cyber Innovation Center at Canyon Springs High School. It is the home of the cybersecurity pathway program and is recognized by the National Initiative for Cyber Education as the first center of its kind for a K-12 public school district. Here, students gain knowledge and skills in computer network maintenance and cybersecurity, earning college credits and CompTIA certifications. The late Aaron Barnett, Moreno Valley USD IT director, and Donna Woods, MSc.Ed., the center's lead instructor, spearheaded the creation of the academic program and the 7,600-square-foot facility. An integral part of the esports teaching and competition activities at the Center is an extensive audio-visual system powered by Extron audio, distribution, control and switching, with NAV® Pro AV over IP at the center of the AV signal distribution .
“AV systems provide high-level impact and a great impression to visitors and participants participating in our community outreach programs,” says Donna Woods, MSc.Ed, Cyber Pathway Instructor in Career Technical Education. “Extron collaborated with our instructors during AV system design to understand the specific uses and applications of each course. As Extron customized AV systems, it provided training and support during and after installation. “They were exemplary in following up when the instructors began using the system to verify that everything was working effectively.”
The main teaching spaces are an Esports Computer Laboratory, a Cyber Classroom and a Cyber Innovation Laboratory that serve as classrooms and competition venues for electronic sports and Cyber defense contests. The center also houses tutoring conference rooms and hands-on workstations with racks of servers and networking equipment. Connecting all rooms is the NAV Pro AV over IP system that allows you to view and listen to any AV source on any screen. Supporting this primary distribution backbone is a wealth of Extron switching, distribution and control equipment, including HDMI Switches, DTP Wall Plates, ShareLink Pro wireless presentation gateways, DMP DSP audio processors, XPA and NetPA amplifiers, flat field and sound field speakers and subwoofers, IPCP Pro control processors, TouchLink Pro touch panels and Extron Control application. Alumni of Moreno Valley's Cyber Academic Pathway program have gone on to high-paying IT and software security positions in the industry. These student successes are even more impressive because Moreno Valley USD qualifies for the U.S. Title I federal education program for low-income students.
