Kids Cybersecurity Day
Celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a fun, hands-on morning where kids become cyber detectives, spot scams, crack challenges, and discover how they can help make the digital world safer. No computer needed. Be curious. Be smart. Be cyber safe.
One morning to think like a defender.
Held in celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Kids Cybersecurity Day is a single, action-packed session where students step into the role of cyber detective. Through guided challenges, they'll learn how hackers think, how to spot a scam before it catches them, and what it takes to keep a password (and a person) safe online, all while working in teams and making new friends. No computer or prior tech experience needed. Students who are outside the listed age range may be considered based on space availability.
Six stations, one mission.
Every activity is instructor-guided and built for the age group, from first-time explorers to kids who already love computers.
Cyber Detective Challenges
Puzzle-driven missions that build the habit of asking "does this look right?"
Crack Password Challenges
Hands-on activities showing what makes a password strong or weak, and why it matters.
Spot the Scam
A phishing challenge that teaches kids to recognize the red flags in a suspicious message.
Think Like a Hacker
