Project HaHa (Hands-on Hardware Security Education)

The project combines several universities and colleges in Florida – Florida International University (FIU), University of Florida (UF), University of South Florida (USF), Broward College (BC), Nova Southeastern University (NSU), and University of Tampa (UT) – with the goal of broadening and diversifying hardware security education to meet the increasing cybersecurity needs across the State and the nation. Project HaHa is unique because it relies on the low-cost, but highly integrated HaHa hardware board (developed by researchers at the University of Florida), and it focuses specifically on hands-on learning of hardware security concepts.

The project has trained more than 50 instructors and hundreds of students in hardware security.
