Dance 2: Electric Boogaloo- Monday- 2nd period

[throughaphase]

Kitty had woken up with a headache that she hadn't been able to shake yet, and while radio was nice and quick, a dance class where she was usually expected to do things like, you know, move, was a little harder to get through.

So class was still held in the bestudioed Danger Shop, though there was a TV there, and plenty of pillows and cushions for the students.

"Hey, guys," Kitty greeted them. "I see some familiar faces, glad to see you back. This is Dance 2, and we're going to be covering some dances that you might know, and dances that you don't, to learn the basics and get you interested in some of these. And unlike the last workshop, this time by the last class I want you to be able to choreograph your own short routine. So keep that in mind as we going from class to class. We're starting off super easy for our first class, so I want to just take a second to go around so you can tell me who you are and a dance you'd be interested in maybe learning, and then we're going to watch a movie for a bit. Next week, wear clothes you know you can move in."

Hacking 101 ; Monday ; Period 2

Today's class (and all subsequent classes unless Riley got creative) were meeting in the computer lab. Riley was already there, laptop open and projected on a screen in front of the class. When everyone had filed in, he stood up and gave them a little wave.

"Morning, hey, how's it going?" he asked. "I'm Riley Poole and if you're here, you're interested in learning the skills and science behind hacking. If you're not here for that, you're welcome to stick around anyway at least for the first class."

He smiled and slid his glasses off his face for the moment. "Hacking gets kind of a bad rap. When we hear about hackers, it's because they've broken into some major, secret system and stolen secrets or they've found a way through Amazon's firewalls and stolen credit card information. Hackers do that, yeah, but they do a lot of other things do. A lot of companies employ them to try and consistently crack their sites to find security weaknesses so they can plug them up before any malicious hacker finds it. The bad hackers are the black hats while the good hackers are the white hats. Makes senses, right? There are other classifications which we'll touch on but not today."

Riley went back to his computer and booted up a Washington DC bank's website. "I'm gonna give you a quick demonstration before we move on. This is a bank I've contracted with to find any exploits. So, we're gonna see if there are any."

He went to work, starting with some crude rootkit devices that he managed to install to gain some control over the system before cracking the firewall password (which were really weak). After a bit longer, he was in and the class would see a list of accounts come up on the screen. Riley shut it down quickly enough.

"Obviously, that bank's security needs some work," he told them. "So, that's what we're gonna learn how to do. Today, let's just start off easy. Give me your name, your level of skill with computers and something you'd like to hack. Karolina here is my TA so if you need help and I'm not available, let her know."

Then, he nodded at the first student to take it away.

7 Ways to Annoy Anakin Skywalker, Monday, Period 1

Bel was grinning madly as his students arrived on the lawn outside the school. "To be honest," he said, "I submitted this class as a joke, but seeing as they approved it and all, let's have some fun. I'm Belthazor, but you can call me Bel, and I used to go to school here when Anakin was a student. He was just as much as a jackass then as he is now, and pissing him off became a big hobby of mine that really has to be shared with the world. So I want you to tell me just why you're taking this class, and if you have any good ideas about what we can spend the next few weeks doing, and then we're going to do a little vandalizing."
