Level 1: Breaking Into Cybersecurity - Build, Scan, Hack (Hands on)

Starts

You know cybersecurity is important. You've heard about hackers, data breaches, and million-dollar ransomware attacks. But where do you actually start?

This is Level 1.Eleven sessions that take you from "I'm interested in cybersecurity" to "I just completed my first security assessment."

Here's what makes this different: we're not spending weeks on theory. Session 1, you're building your hacking lab. Session 4, you're already scanning networks. By Session 6, you're cracking passwords. Everything is hands-on, everything is practical.

Each session follows the same structure: I explain the concept briefly (10-15 minutes max), then we dive into the lab together. You follow along, you make mistakes, you learn by doing. That's how this works.

Topics we'll cover:
→ Setting up your security lab (Kali Linux, VMs, tools)
→ Linux basics that actually matter for security work
→ How networks really work (we'll watch packets move in real-time)
→ Reconnaissance and scanning (your first "hack")
→ Web application structure (how websites actually function)
→ Password security and cracking (theory meets reality)
→ Social engineering fundamentals (the human element)
→ Cryptography essentials (what keeps data safe)

The final two sessions are your project. You'll conduct a complete security assessment of a test environment, Just like the real work.

What you need: A computer capable of running virtual machines, willingness to learn, and about 60-90 minutes per session. No prior experience required. If you can install software and follow instructions, you're ready.

What you don't need: A computer science degree, prior hacking experience, or expensive certifications. Just curiosity and commitment.

By the end of Level 1, you'll have the foundation. You'll understand how systems work, how they break, and how to think about security. More importantly, you'll have actually done it—not just read about it.

This is where it starts. See you in Session 1.

💡 About the Series

The Schoolhouse Series is a month-long, beginner-friendly journey designed to transform how students understand programming — starting from the roots of C, through the simplicity of Python, to the power of Java.

This unique sequential course helps learners not just code, but think like programmers — understanding how logic, syntax, and structure evolve across languages.

Geometry Dash on Scratch

2nd session

Over this course, we will create a Geometry Dash game on Scratch! This is great for beginners who are interested in block-coding platforms, for K-12 students. Useful for those enrolled in APCSP (will have similar project for the AP test).

We'll go through important ideas in the domain of Computer Science (Game Theory, Exploration/Exploitation tradeoff, Search and Decision making in uncertainty etc.) and Physics (Concept of relativity and time, resonance, entropy/information etc) and understand how we can apply these concepts to understand aspects of our own lives. These sessions will be interactive, so you'll be the explorers and I'll be your guide.
