Coding Fundamentals

Coding Fundamentals introduces students to the foundational concepts of coding and cybersecurity through hands-on lessons. Depending on the student's grade level and experience, they learn the fundamentals of coding through Microsoft's MakeCode block-based language and/or through Python text-based programming. Cybersecurity lessons include brute force attacks, dictionary attacks, and on-path attacks (formerly known as man-in-the-middle attacks).

MakeCode Block is recommended for grades 4-8 (beginners). Python is recommended for grades 8-12 (intermediate).
