The Silicon in SIlicon Valley
Students will explore the properties of metalloids and explain why silicon is the most commonly used element in semiconductors.
What are Semiconductors?
Students will create copper sulfate crystals, then develop a model at the molecular level to apply their observations to other substances. In doing so, students will learn about how semiconductors are produced, and be exposed to other industrial and commercial uses for these materials.

Can you Hack the Cyber Attack? Cyberattacks: Then and Now
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.
Can you Hack the Cyber Attack? Design your Cybersecurity App
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.
Can you Hack the Cyber Attack? The Who, What, Where, and Why of Cyberattacks.
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. Students will demonstrate their learning through a game of Kahoot.
Can you Hack the Cyber Attack? What is a Computer?
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. Students will disassemble a computer (or other device) to view the components.
