This Course is for DEFENSE

• We're teaching these skills to educate your child on what malicious hackers can do to them
• We're NOT teaching this course so your child can hack into your neighbor's computer and WiFi
• The skills we're teaching are legitimate tactics of attack, so your child must learn how hackers do what they do in order to defend themselves
  • Any teen with a laptop can hack into your WiFi if you don't take proper precautions
  • It is important to understand these things at a young age so they develop good, secure habits to apply later in life

Why should you enroll your child in Hack to the Future?

• So you don't have to chauffer them around on their Pokemon Go adventures and await the day they become a Pokemon master
• So your child can learn useful skills for both their future careers/lives
• Exercise their brains 
  • Gain technical literacy
  • Build critical thinking and problem solving skills 
  • So they can understand what the Time Warner/Hawaiian Telcom technicians are doing (even if you don't)
