Hear from a father and two of his children (ages 10 and 16) as they share their experiences embracing a hacking culture within their home. It is imperative that we equip the next generation with the skills to tackle security challenges. This is done by emphasizing problem-solving skills while they are young and challenging them as they grow older and find ways to integrate those skills throughout a child's life. This presentation will be interactive with an extended Q&A as each presenter shares their personal experiences that helped them become the hacker they are today and in the future.
