Workshops

Cyber Kung Fu 101: Learn the Defensive Moves

In the field of martial arts, the goal is to learn how to master the moves to defend one’s safety and not to use the knowledge to actively attack or harm others. Did you know that there are equivalent techniques and concepts from the realm of cyber security that you could learn and apply so you can be prepared to defend yourself? If you’re curious, come and join this workshop.

The World Network

The 2021 national science schools theme was Glass: More than meets the eye
this workshop will be all about how glass is used within networking and technology, piping data around the world. How quickly does it take to travel the world with your data? Let's find out!

Physical Security

How do locks work, and why do some keys not work as well as others? In this workshop everyone gets some hands-on experience understanding the importance of physical security. This workshop returns with new challenges!

Hack A Bank Game

Hacking a bank is no child's play!  In this game we ‘steal’ money from each other and the bank - the person with the most at the end wins. The aim of this workshop is to teach about the importance of securing websites and databases correctly, and the impact of not addressing vulnerabilities.

Cybergames

Capture the flag games are puzzles based on real world information security vulnerabilities. Race against the clock solving complex and fun exercises gathering ‘flags’ to earn points. This workshop returns for 2023 with all new challenges and prizes!

Prizes

We always have heaps of prizes and giveaways at this event! More details to be announced in August.
