MySecureCyberspace Game: Carnegie Cadets

The goal of the MySecureCyberspace Game is to educate children ages 8-11 about cybersecurity and instill in them good cybercitizen habits so that being safe and secure online becomes as second nature as brushing your teeth or looking both ways before crossing the street.

The player is a trainee in the Carnegie Cyber Academy who must enter CyberSpace, the city that exists inside the Internet to learn about cybersecurity. The player completes several missions, mini-games designed to teach major cybersecurity principles such as how to use judgement when sorting and opening email and what is safe information to share with others online.
