Made for: Students · teachers · advisors
About the talk
In lower secondary school my GPA was 2.9. I left upper secondary with a 5.6. This talk is about what happened in between, and how curiosity about computers and security turned into a job I look forward to every day.
This is not a talk about becoming a hacker. It’s about finding something you care about, and what that does to school and motivation. Cybersecurity just happens to be the example I know best.
What the students take away
An honest story about going from weak grades to top grades, with no shortcuts
How an interest can turn into an education and a job, with IT security as the example
Small demos from the hacker’s world that wake up the room
Concrete advice they can use no matter what they want to become
How the talk is structured
The talk runs about 45 minutes and is interactive: the students take part along the way, and no question is off limits. The content is adapted to the year group in the room, whether that’s grades 8–10 or upper secondary.
