A new idea has been launched and is getting the support of the security community. Myself being a child advocate and engaging with them to improve their educational experience, I would be remiss if I didn’t post about this launch. It’s just launched and much work is needed. Jump in and give them a hand where you see fit.
The idea really revolves around providing an interactive, hands-on experience for kids and their parents which includes things like:
- Low-impact martial arts/self-defense training
- Online safety (kids and parents!)
- How to deal with CyberBullies
- Gaming competitions
- Introduction to Programming
- Basic to advanced network/application security
- Hacking hardware and software for fun
- Build a netbook
- Make a podcast/vodcast
- Lockpicking
- Interactive robot building (Lego Mindstorms?)
- Organic snacks and lunches
- Website design/introduction to blogging
- Meet law enforcement
- Meet *real* security researchers
