This practitioner-led session highlights how the Clinic-in-a-Box model uses artificial intelligence to generate authentic, standards-aligned risk and vulnerability analysis scenarios for cybersecurity. Participants will explore how AI can create realistic scenarios and case studies focused on K–12 environments, small and medium-sized businesses, non-profits, and other underserved organizations—contexts commonly reflected in community-based work and internships. The session demonstrates how these AI-generated scenarios support hands-on learning, workforce alignment, and durable skill development through simulated client engagement, documentation, and communication of findings. While rooted in cybersecurity education, the framework is adaptable across CTE programs by emphasizing risk identification, assessment, and mitigation relevant to different industries. Attendees will leave with practical prompts, instructional strategies, and implementation guidance for scalable, low-cost scenario-based learning in secondary and postsecondary CTE settings.
