![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Larson has been into electronics “for a while,” ever since he figured out to how to get into his mom’s computer without her password. Sean Larson, an 11-year-old from Foothill Ranch Elementary, found a post about Joshua’s hackathon online and knew he wanted to attend. “This is our future right here,” he said, looking around the room. Once they learned more about Local Hack Day, Marzilli said the school’s administration quickly threw their support behind the event. “Josh came to me with the amazing idea of a hackathon, and us old people were like, ‘Hack what?'” joked Mike Marzilli, an assistant principal at Laguna Hills High. That type of malicious activity is what many people think of when they hear the word “hacker.” And he wants to make that as hard as possible. “You can exploit harmless devices to do devious things,” he said. But he’s most interested in cybersecurity. Thanks to online college courses, after-school programs and YouTube, Joshua knows how to code, design items for 3D printing, make apps and more. But it wasn’t until the ripe old age of 11 - when he managed to fix a busted family printer that had stumped his parents - that he decided he wanted to pursue a career in technology. Joshua said he’s loved computers for as long as he can remember. And the whole event was organized by Laguna Hill High freshmen Joshua Martinez. All of the courses were taught by high school students. ![]()
