How advise/guide rising 11th grade daughter interested in cybersecurity

Does she need such a narrow focus right now? Seems to me that knowing she thinks cyber/intelligence is cool and interesting is enough for a HS kid.

I think finding a non-stressful way for her to get some programming experience would be great; I don’t think she needs clubs, EC’s, etc. to prove her chops. She’s a strong student, and it seems to me that if she goes down a CS/Cyber route in college and decides she hates it, she’ll be able to pivot to something else without it being traumatic.

What am I missing here?
