• Topic: Hacking and Security in CS Teaching
• Date: Saturday, September 27th, 2014, 10 am - 12 noon 
• Place: UW, Paul Allen Center for CSE, room 691 (Directions & Parking)

Rarely a week goes by without a security-related topic appearing in the news headlines. Whether it be viruses, worms, identity theft, phishing, or hacking, security is often on the minds of computing professionals and everyday users. In computer science classes, we can introduce the basic principles and practices of computer security and even use security issues and hacking activities to draw students into computer science. Ken Hang from Green River Community College will share two high school level security/hacking competitions designed to inspire students, Cyberpatriot and PicoCTF. The University of Washington security group will share hands-on security activities that can be done even without computers!
