Hacking and Cybersecurity with Python Camp


About this Camp:
Curious about how hackers think and love solving puzzles? In this hands-on camp, you will explore Python coding, ethical hacking, and cybersecurity through interactive games and code-cracking challenges. Build your coding skills by creating mini-projects and programming your own cyber defense game. Experiment with secret codes, test password strength, and train on specialty websites designed for safe practice. Compete in Capture-the-Flag contests that challenge your logic, teamwork, and creativity. 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. hacking.png
