Academy of AI Cyber Defence

​

Experience Python like never before, part 2

​​

Academy of AI Cyber Defence is the long awaited Sequel to the Python Intro Course.

 

It is free and browser-based. Students hunt a rogue AI, SKNNET, foiling its attempts to grow, and eventually attack the AI core, providing context and motivation for each coding task.

​

It addresses important Cyber Security concepts: Encryption, Obfuscation, Input Validation, Packet Manipulation, Denial-of-Service, Adversarial Thinking, AI Safety, and Cyber Sabotage.

​

• 💻 Progressive Programming Concepts: Students extend their Python skills in output, input, decisions, nested loops, data dictionaries, string manipulation, API keys, and functions.

• 🔐 Embedded Cybersecurity Themes: The AI’s behaviour prompts students to question trust, validate code, and reflect on ethical coding, encouraging critical thinking about digital safety and manipulation.

• 🤔 Problem-Solving Through Code: Encryption, Obfuscation, Input Validation, Packet Manipulation, Denial-of-Service, Adversarial Thinking, AI Safety, Cyber Sabotage.

• 🧩 Quizzes reinforce and consolidate learning.

• 🚨 Climactic Endgame Scenario: The final challenge requires students to apply all their coding knowledge to perform a brain transplant of an AI to change it from evil to benevolent.

​

🧩 Features

• Fully aligned with the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies

• Rank progression. Key missions unlock real-world-inspired ranks

• Students virtually visit Buenos Aires, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane

• An endgame that changes SKNNET from rogue to good by means of an AI brain transplant

• Cinematic video and audio content

• Gamified, yet deep
