Create a better world, teach our kids more hacking skills!

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 5, 2017, 8 p.m. (120 minutes)

In the past years, it became more and more important to teach our kids more skill’s on “Cyber” (I know, cyber cyber cyber). Main reasons are to teach our kids what is oke and what is dangerous on the web. Our regular school system doesn’t teach enough cyber in our opinion. Together with the fact there are a lot of very smart kids in the classroom using their skills in the wrong way sometimes. That’s why we started Hack in The Class (HITC), an initiative by Randomdata (a Hackerspace in Utrecht) and Hack in The Box. HITC its main goal is to create content and lessons on these subjects and spread them. Currently we have about 3 “courses” and we want to create more content to be used on schools or by parents. A second goal is we would like to scale up, we need people to help us out. This session is to spread those words, to explain what we are, what we want to do and how we ask your help to enlarge this initiative. We also want to ask your help to create more content together and how we can spread the content.
