That's a misconception I do not enjoy clearing up about people who program. That we can "hack" anything at the flick of a finger. Most the time the term "hacking" is misused anyways, but people don't want to say "network penetration." Yeah, once you know what you're doing in Kali, it isn't that hard to get into networks or crack wifi passwords.

If anything, you could maybe have a form all the students in the club have to sign to be in it that they will not cause damage to property. But it's not like you'd be teaching them Kali linux. At best you'd be able to make a robot follow a line with a group of people who have never programmed before in their life.
