The Collado Villalba City Council, through its Childhood and Youth Department, in collaboration with the Cibervoluntarios Foundation, has organized a free 'Hacker Challenge' for young people aged 16 to 21, to be held on May 22.

This activity, which will take place at the Youth Center in Collado Villalba, aims to offer a dynamic and educational experience. Its objective is to introduce participants to the world of cybersecurity and ethical hacking through practical challenges and interactive activities.
Young people will learn how to protect devices, identify online vulnerabilities, and prevent digital threats. The session will also cover key concepts such as encryption and cryptography, providing a solid foundation in digital security.

"A unique opportunity to discover the future of digital security."

Each challenge module is designed to foster critical thinking and develop technological skills, while also exploring professional opportunities in the growing cybersecurity sector. Additionally, participants will have an extra hour of autonomous online training to consolidate their acquired knowledge.
The initiative offers 16 free spots, and early registration is recommended due to limited availability. This proposal from the Collado Villalba City Council combines learning and fun, allowing young people to become ethical hackers for a day.
