What We Cover
Who It’s For
How It Runs
Start with security foundations, move into building, learn AI basics, then go deeper into how language models, retrieval, and AI agents actually work. Each card links to its outline below.
Hardware, OS, command line, and networking basics to speak the language of security.
Servers, network traffic, and defensive controls — applying fundamentals to protect systems.
Crypto, web security, ethical recon, and IR — the capstone blend of offense and defense.
Create websites and starter Python projects with AI guidance, focusing on safe, hands-on building.
Learn AI basics while making a fun project: brainstorm ideas, build something with AI assistance, improve it with AI feedback, and share what you built.
Three deeper AI courses for students who finished Cyber Innovator and want to understand what is actually happening inside the tools they use.
Look under the hood of large language models — tokens, predictions, hallucinations, and the prompt patterns that change everything.
Teach an AI to answer questions from your own class notes and textbooks, with sources it can point to. The technique is called retrieval-augmented generation.
An agent is an AI that plans, picks tools, and works through several steps on its own. You will build one — and learn how to keep it on a leash.
Expand to see modules, day-by-day plans, audiences, and prerequisites.
Quick answers to how our local cyber training blends AI projects and hands-on practice.
Yes. We host in-person sessions in Ashburn and nearby Loudoun County schools and community spaces. Students complete cybersecurity labs and create small AI-backed projects inside our Cyber Builder and Cyber Innovator tracks.
High school students and clubs in Ashburn, Aldie, Brambleton, and Leesburg who want guided cybersecurity training, safe AI prompting practice, and portfolio-ready projects.
Three deeper AI courses for students who already use AI tools and want to understand them: LLM foundations and prompt patterns, building a study tutor with retrieval-augmented generation, and writing a first AI agent with sensible guardrails. Each is a 5-day program.
We adapt pacing for weeklong intensives, after-school clubs, or weekend cohorts. Tell us your dates and we will align Sleuth, Builder, Innovator, or AI Frontier sessions to your calendar.
Share your cohort size, schedule preferences, and any focus areas (Sleuth, Builder, or Innovator). We’ll tailor the delivery to your students.
