A part of training for troubled teens is about to be implemented in Glenorchy, New Zealand. The project is supposed to help them find their way through its complex world hacking. The goal is to create a school for tech skills specifically designed for hacking and cyber-espionage activities.
The project is at a very early stage and is a vision of Kirsha Kaechele, who is married to professional gambler David Walsh, founder of the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).
Kaechele is an artist and philanthropist and hopes that the school is supported by the Ministry of National Defense, as well as by several other companies.
In an interview he gave to TasWeekend, he said that cyber-skills can help entrepreneurial activities such as starting start-ups. However, they can also be put in service of the goverment.
It seems the school envisioned it as one centre for the training of future spies, and a number of students limited to just 13, according to the The Mercury.
Creating spaces for teaching Computer hacking and security is nothing new and many countries have already begun to do so.
