# BugClub HQ for schools

Your students learn to find security bugs and report them properly. Same eight weeks as everyone else, a class of up to 12 and a whole week on permission before anyone opens a lab.

## What we can set up for a school

Tell me how many students you have and when they're free. We'll work out the rest on a call.

### A private class

Up to 12 of your students in their own cohort, on a day and time we agree on. After school or during a class period both work.

### Seats in an open group

A few students can join the high school group, Thursdays, 5:30 to 7 PM Eastern, alongside students from other schools.

### Progress for the teacher

If the teacher or program lead wants to see where each student is, week by week, ask about it when we talk.

### One invoice

The school gets one bill for every seat, so families pay nothing. You can pay by card, or I can send an invoice. I take purchase orders too.

### Nothing to install

Everything runs in a web browser, so school Chromebooks work. If your network filters sites, I'll send the list of domains to allow.

### A syllabus you can check

Every week, lesson and lab is public, so you can hold it up against your standards before you commit to anything. [See the eight weeks](https://bugclubhq.com/curriculum).

## Safety, privacy and the rules

The course teaches students to look where they're allowed to and nowhere else. Students under 18 get a few extra protections.

### Practice apps only

Every lab runs on apps built to be broken, inside each student's own sandbox. No real sites, including your school's. Week 0 covers ethics and the law, and week 1 stays locked until the ethics agreement is signed.

### Parents stay in the loop

For students under 18, a parent or guardian co-signs the agreement and gets their own account showing progress, without seeing the student's work. [What parents see](https://bugclubhq.com/parents#what-you-see).

### No private messages between students

Students can't message each other. Outside live sessions, the forums are the only place students talk to each other, and the only private thread a student has is with me, about their own work.

### Student data

We keep what the course needs and nothing for advertising. If your district has a data privacy agreement, send it over and I'll read it. [Read the privacy policy](https://bugclubhq.com/privacy).

## Who teaches your students

Josh Brody

Instructor

I've written software for about 20 years and reported security bugs through bug bounty programs.

[More about Josh](https://bugclubhq.com/about)

I teach every live session and read every write-up. You'll find this when you look me up, so here it is first: I went to federal prison for hacking and internet piracy after a conviction in 2023.

It's why week 0 is about permission.

## Pricing for schools

One price per seat or per class, paid once. Every seat includes the full course and a year of sandbox access after it ends.

### One to four seats

$399 a seat, the same as everyone else.

### Five or more seats

For five or more seats in an open group, email [hello@bugclubhq.com](mailto:hello@bugclubhq.com?subject=BugClub%20HQ%20for%20schools) and I'll send the details.

### A private class

Up to 12 of your students, on your schedule. Email [hello@bugclubhq.com](mailto:hello@bugclubhq.com?subject=BugClub%20HQ%20for%20schools) and I'll send the details.

### Tight budget

Title I schools, libraries and nonprofits: email me. The budget doesn't decide whether your students get in.

## How it works

### 1. Email me

How many students, how old and when they're free. I reply within a day.

### 2. A call

About 20 minutes by video with you, and it's a casual chat. Bring your questions and your IT person, if you want.

### 3. Schedule and invoice

We agree on the group, the time and the price. You get one invoice for every seat.

### 4. Students sign on

Each student still applies and gets their own account, then signs the ethics agreement, with a parent or guardian for students under 18.

## Bring it to your school

Email works best. Tell me a little about your students and I'll take it from there.
