Taught by an Ivy League expert instructor, this camp provides a risk-free first session and focuses on practical, hands-on ethical hacking experiences.
This 2-week virtual summer camp, "So You Wanna Be a Hacker?", offers a hands-on, high-energy exploration into the world of cybersecurity and ethical hacking. Teens will learn the fundamental tools and techniques used by cybersecurity professionals in a safe, beginner-friendly environment. The camp kicks off with Linux basics using Google Cloud Shell, a powerful real-world tool. Students will then build and host their own simple webpage to understand website functionality and vulnerabilities. The second week delves into ethical hacking using an educational vulnerable website, allowing students to identify and understand real security flaws. The program concludes with cyber challenges where participants apply their skills to solve puzzles and think like ethical hackers, gaining insight into potential cybersecurity career paths.
A typical day involves a 70-minute live online lesson where students engage in hands-on activities, explore cybersecurity concepts, and practice ethical hacking techniques.
This camp is best for students aged 12-17 who are interested in AI, video game design, Python coding, and securing a digital future.
