A division of Uwitz

Uwitz Juniors

Our education division. Juniors teaches practical operational security to students, young developers, and the community groups around them — the people who will inherit this infrastructure and currently get almost no say in how it's built.

Why it exists

Security education arrives about a decade too late.

Most people meet operational security for the first time at work, in a mandatory training module, years after they've already built the habits that put them at risk. By then the accounts are linked, the passwords are reused, and the metadata trail is long.

Juniors moves that lesson forward. Same material we'd give a newsroom or a small team, pitched for people who are still deciding how they want to live online.

Free to attend

No fee, no eligibility test, no upsell at the end. Funded by Uwitz Corporate and by donors.

Materials published openly

Slides, labs, and exercises go online after every session so anyone can run them locally or teach them themselves.

Nothing collected on attendees

We teach data minimisation, so we practise it. Sign-ups take a name and a way to reach you, and nothing else.

What Juniors runs

Three programmes

Workshops

Short, hands-on sessions: threat modelling your own life, password and key hygiene, phone and browser hardening, spotting a phish that's actually good.

Curriculum

A full term of material that schools, clubs, and community groups can pick up and teach without us in the room. Open licence, no attribution games.

Mentoring

For the ones who want to go further: paired work with the core team on real research, real disclosures, and the boring parts nobody puts in a talk.

Sessions, schedule, and sign-up live on the Juniors site.

Everything Juniors runs day to day is over at education.uwitz.org. If you want to host a workshop or teach the curriculum, start there.
