Bring coding to life with Gorilla Hack Academy — a fun, mission-based cyber learning resource designed for classroom activities, STEM clubs, coding clubs, enrichment sessions, or end-of-term lessons.

Students enter a simulated cyber mission environment where they build confidence with HTML, CSS, encryption and basic cyber security concepts in a fun, engaging way. The resource is designed to feel more like a game or secret-agent mission than a normal worksheet, helping students stay motivated while developing real digital skills.

This is ideal for:

KS3 Computing lessons
Coding clubs
Cyber security clubs
STEM enrichment
End-of-term activities
Gifted and talented sessions
Independent learning tasks
Fun cover lessons with a computing focus

Students can explore the online Gorilla Hack environment and complete challenges that encourage problem solving, creativity and logical thinking.

The activities are classroom-friendly and focus on ethical, educational cyber security, not real-world hacking. Students learn through safe simulations, code-based missions and creative web tasks.

Perfect for teachers who want something different, exciting and memorable that still supports important Computing and cyber security skills.
