Year 8 and 9 students are participating in My Journey in Tech Competition where we will design an app. At the end, our work will submit our app ideas, receive a certificate of completion and participate in the optional country-wide AWS GetIT competition. The presenter was excellent and got us all excited about the benefits of participating.

Cyber Protectors!

What is my app?

• My app is called TechXplore. It is about exploring the internet and finding out ways to stay safe and protected online.
• The app is directed towards children and will hopefully be able to help them with cybersecurity.

Why am I making this app?

• Many children nowadays usually use the internet every day. Unfortunately, using the internet comes with risks and the children may not know enough about how to protect themselves

How will I educate children about using the internet safely?

• With my app, users will explore a "tech world", hence the name "TechXplore". In this world, there will be strangers that will tell you suspicious stuff, such as "you need to change your password" or "click for free money".
• With this main idea of the game, users will slowly begin to develop an idea of what is and is not safe. Additionally, if they get something wrong, there will be information to assist them.
