Join a fun cybersecurity class for kids

Do your children know what information they should or shouldn't show on social media or video games? Kids are online more than ever before, but do they know how to use the Internet safely and protect their privacy? When students join this introductory class they'll explore a wide range of topics related to computer security, modern computers, and the Internet. This will be the most exciting cybersecurity class for kids with real-world applications, delivered through a combination of project and inquiry-based learning. We'll enjoy fun videos, games, and security tools, as well as building projects of our own.

Part 1 - Junior Hackers - Smart and Safe on Internet 1
Junior Hackers - Smart and Safe on Internet 1
This fun cybersecurity introductory course covers a wide range of topics related to security, modern computers, and the Internet. Students will find out how passwords work and why some are much better than others. And we will build a simple project to demonstrate how fast it is to crack a simple password. They'll learn how viruses work, and why it is important not to download and click on information from the Internet. Be a detective to see if you can see patterns! Plus, kids will discover what information to share and not to share on the Internet, and for what reasons. Before learning how to watch out for signs, and how data are used. They'll even develop a better understanding of how the Internet works. Why can we talk to someone far away over the Internet? Find out! And see how to use a packet sniffer to actually see packets going in and out of your own computer.
Part 2 - Junior Hackers - Smart and Safe on Internet 2
Junior Hackers - Smart and Safe on Internet 2
In unit 2 of this course, we will explore more about different fun aspects of the security and the technologies behind it. Do you know that everything in the computer and on the Internet ends to be 0s and 1s. Yes, that's it! We will start with learning how these two numbers form the foundation of everything we see and experience on computers. We will learn more about Internet and how information get delivered, and what kind of security implication there might be. And finally, we will learn how to keep things secure through encryption and build a fun Scratch project that generates Morse code.

Frequently Asked Questions About Junior Hackers - Smart and Safe on Internet

What are the benefits of children learning cybersecurity at a young age?

Cybersecurity is the computer science field that protects computers, users, and softwares from malicious entities. It is not only one of the most important areas of computer science with huge job opportunities , but also helps students stay safe online, protect their personal information, and understand how the Internet and computers work.

This cybersecurity for kids class teaches kids in grades essential digital skills like creating strong passwords, recognizing online threats like viruses, and knowing what is or isn’t safe to share on social media or in games. Through fun, hands-on projects like building a password cracker demo or a Morse code generator in Scratch, kids gain real-world knowledge while staying engaged. They also explore how data travels across the Internet, learn about encryption, and even use packet sniffers to see live data traffic—building confidence and critical thinking. With small group instruction, students get a strong foundation to become smart, responsible digital citizens in today’s connected world and explore a critical area of computer science.

How can learning cybersecurity coding impact my child's future career opportunities?

Cybersecurity skills are in high demand across many industries. Early exposure can open doors to careers in IT, security, programming, and more. It also teaches adaptable skills like logical thinking and attention to detail, which are valuable in any career.

How does this cybersecurity class for kids uniquely prepare learners for real-world challenges?

This class combines fun, hands-on projects with practical lessons in online safety, tailored specifically for young learners in grades 2–5. We use project- and inquiry-based learning, where students don’t just learn theory—they actively build things like a password cracker demo or a Morse code generator in Scratch to understand encryption. They also explore real security tools like packet sniffers to see how data moves in and out of a computer, making complex topics like Internet communication and data privacy easy to grasp. With a focus on teaching kids what information is safe to share, how viruses work, and how to spot online threats, the course equips students with practical, real-world digital skills in a fun, engaging format with small group live instruction, ensuring personalized attention and deeper understanding—something many other programs lack.
