Cyber
Security Skills for the Real World
Hacking is a method of problem solving that combines resourcefulness,
logic, creativity, and study. Hacker Highschool helps teens learn hacking as a
method to figure out how things work (such as with the Scientific Method) and
to further learn by doing. Hacking is usefully applied in nearly all fields as
it builds upon what is known to create new things, foods, designs, etc. When
applied to computers and networks, it also teaches safety and security in a
world quickly drowning in information where to be safer teens today need to
know the facts from the fraud, the real from the fake, and the bad from the
good.
Hacker
Highschool is practical because security awareness has to be the continuing
practice of a skill and not just the continuous reminder of a threat. That's
why we need teens to actively take on real hacking attacks. Like a fire drill
or even driver education, students need real practice if they want to learn how
not to end up a victim.
