Decrypting secret messages has been around for decades. The need to decrypt different algorithms is essential in cyber warfare and the understanding of the threats that surround us on the internet daily.
Cyberattacks have been happening for a long time, so now there are experts in the field of cybersecurity to prevent cyberattacks. There are a lot more devices now (including computers, phones, tablets) that attacks can target.
People use apps everyday all over the world. Their personal data is flowing through the internet even when people are not actively using their devices. To this end, people need to learn how to protect their data.
Networks, hosts, clients, and servers are components of computer communication. Each component is vulnerable in different ways to cyberattacks that can result in personal and monetary loss.
Are computers a sum of their parts or are they more than that? Hardware and software make up a computer and allow them to do the amazing things they can perform.
With the development of technologies, hackers will be there at every step to try to steal information, both at the personal and at the national level. With the rise of these threats, new careers have arisen as well, and this lesson will explore those careers.
Students will investigate machine learning by participating in a short simulation, and then will run through a series of station activities including building a microchip, and a coding activity.
Working in teams, students will build microchips using LEGOs, while practicing their soft skills in order to prepare the chips so they are ready for manufacturing.
