When you think of the term “hacker”, do you think of a masked man in a black hoodie? Since the 1990s, ethical hacking has been a popular and viable career for many creatives and coders alike. If you love tablets, smartphones, gaming devices, and computers, this camp might just channel that passion into a digital career you didn’t even know existed. You’ll have a blast by creating technology instead of just using it! In this camp, you will learn the basics of hardware and software hacking from cryptography and security to basic electronics. We will take a hit at several different hacking techniques and foundations while also looking in-depth at the history and appeal of ethical hacking. Information about the hacking kits can be found in the last section of this page.
