2665333 8/28/2023 23:42 CyberGo
Our project is CyberGo. We have created a model for cybersecurity education,
which is an informational website with an interactive game to engage
children. The website has a home page that introduces our project, a learn
page that provides an overview of basic cybersecurity concepts, and an
interactive game with check-ins that tests what the kids learned from the
website. Link to website:
https://htmlcodecycomp.vanshikaturkar1.repl.co/index.html
2665314 8/28/2023 22:43 Early Education for Kids on the Internet
As the young generation is increasingly exposed to cyberspace, scams and
attacks targeted towards children may become more prevalent. In order to
protect and educate our students, this project proposes a plan to partner with
the CUSD district to create an online safety and literacy curriculum taught
across local elementary and middle schools. This curriculum would outline
digital footprint, characteristics of scams, and more- taught in an age
appropriate fashion across grades.
2663741 8/28/2023 11:17 CyberSecureU Solutions
Engaging young students in cybersecurity through interactive workshops,
relatable memes, fun stickers, web portals with comics, and informative
newsletters. CyberSecureU offers practical learning and awareness, fostering
a safe online experience.
2662565 8/27/2023 23:20 CyberGuard Quest - Empowering Digital Defend
In this digital era, there are a plethora of phishing emails, fraudulent links, and
other malicious threats. CyberGuard Quest addresses this issue by combining
education, interaction, and AR technology. It equips the younger generation
with the skills needed to navigate the digital world safely and securely. We
are mainly targeting the younger generation with our project as they are the
most accessible with this form of technology.
2661926 8/27/2023 11:27 Soteria's 3Ds
Our Soteria’s 3Ds project aims to educate the general public about
cybercrimes and safety security issues online. Our first idea is to redesign
Cupertino’s Silicon Valley Hoppers with graphics advertising internet dangers.
Secondly, we designed cyberposters to educate readers on internet safety
with statistics. By using different languages, we hope to guarantee that many
citizens will be able to understand the current issues around us.
DESK ITEM 1
2643545 8/17/2023 16:35 Open Sesame
“Open Sesame” is an online game that educates the importance of a strong
password. The kid-friendly game focuses on users as young as five years old to
teach the characteristics of a strong password that they can use for the rest of
their lives. The game involves 4 simple password rules that can be applied for
most websites and platforms. The outcome is an easy to remember and
complex password. The success of our project is measured by the number of
completed passwords on the site.
