    Grades 3-4

Are you curious about how hackers think? Do you love solving puzzles? In this class, students will explore Python coding, ethical hacking, and cybersecurity through interactive games and code-cracking challenges. You will build your Python coding skills by creating hands-on mini Python projects. We will experiment with secret codes, test password strength, and train on specialty websites designed for safe practice. You will compete in Capture-the-Flag contests that challenge your logic, teamwork, and creativity. Students will learn how hackers operate, and how to stop them, while developing real-world problem-solving skills and thinking like an ethical hacker who protects, not attacks. Bring a USB on the last day. ($25 class fee)
