Holiday Tech Days - Ethical Hacker

Holiday Tech Days

Ethical Hacker

Just in time for the school holidays, the ICC team is proud to present an immersive, hands-on, one-day workshop designed for students in grades 9-12.

Think You Can Outsmart Hackers? Step into a Cyber Heist Challenge!

Imagine this: A hacker group has stolen sensitive information from Canberra's government databases and erased all traces of their attack. They're known for leaving no evidence behind, but you have a chance to track them down and stop their next move!

In this program, you’ll step into the shoes of an ethical hacker and take on a series of fun, puzzle-like Capture the Flag challenges inspired by the world of cybersecurity.

Our expert instructors will guide you through everything you need to know on the day. You’ll learn the basics of how hackers think, how to spot clues, and how to solve challenges to uncover hidden information.

Program details:

·         When: Tuesday 14th July 2026, 9:30am – 4:00pm

·         Where: Innovation Central Canberra, University of Canberra, Building 27 - Level A

·         Cost: $95 per child (excluding booking fee), snacks and pizza lunch included

Recommended for students in grades 9 – 12 (younger grades by exemption, please email us check).

Spots are limited, register by 5pm Thursday 9th July

Please note - this session is very similar to those run in September 2025 and hence may be repetitive for students who participated last year.
