View curriculumLearn by doing
Master the tools real teams use. Starting at age 5.
No installs. No expensive gear. Open a browser, join a class and start building.
Live classes with real instructors
Small groups for ethical hacking, OSINT, AI prompting, Claude and building with AI.
19 CyberMissions
Story missions put students in the middle of a real incident, like a phishing email at school or ransomware at a 911 center. They make the calls.
Nothing to install
Lessons and labs run in the browser, on a school Chromebook or a home laptop.
$ mission start –id 04 “Dispatch down”
[03:00:12] ALERT ransom note on DISPATCH-07
[03:00:19] ALERT encryption spreading: DISPATCH-08, -09
[03:00:31] calls still coming in: 14 waiting
> What do you do first? Pick one.
A) Pay so dispatch comes back fast
Not quite. Paying does not guarantee the files come back, and it funds the next attack. Stop the spread first.
B) Disconnect the infected machines from the network
Correct. Cutting infected machines off stops the spread. Next, switch calls to the backup center. +120 xp
C) Restart every computer
Not quite. Restarting can wipe evidence and will not stop the spread. Stop the spread first.
Read. Decide. Defend.

What students build · swipe
Defend a real network.
Cyber Defenders program
Students harden a small network, watch the logs and stop an attack in a live capture-the-flag finale.
Train a model, then test it.
AI & Machine Learning program
From labeled data to a working classifier, and a straight talk about where AI gets things wrong.
Wire it, code it, race it.
Robotics program
Sensors, motors and code come together in a bot that runs a timed course at the end of the program.
Fly safe and earn the FAA TRUST certificate.
Drone Piloting program
Flight basics, airspace rules and the recreational drone safety test, ages 10 to 18.
