(All Day) Intro to Python, Hacking and Cybersecurity
Explore the worlds of coding and cybersecurity in this exciting class. Using Python, students learn how code works while experimenting with computer science concepts through hands-on projects and problem solving. They also step into the role of ethical hackers, discovering how information can be protected and how digital tricks are uncovered. Activities include coding puzzles and Capture the Flag games that make learning both challenging and fun. The class encourages curiosity, exploration, and discovery while giving students the chance to practice coding and understand the foundations of cybersecurity. Good keyboarding skills are recommended. Bring a USB drive on the last day.
