Cyber-security workshop at the MGHPCC
In conjunction with Computer Science Education Week, researchers from Boston University hosted a free, hands-on cyber-security workshop at the MGHPCC on Saturday, December 12th.
“Hacking with Holyoke Codes” introduced over 20 middle and high school students, along with their teachers and parents, to issues of cyber-security in today’s internet with instruction and activities geared towards helping participants reflect on how we balance access and privacy.
During the workshop participants learned about secret codes and cryptography, and password cracking, joining forces for a final “Capture the Flag” hacking contest!
