Be@CyberPro Project: Free Online Event

Free Online event introducing the Be@CyberPro Project.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in cybersecurity education and The gamification of learning, an educational approach to motivate students to learn by using video game design and game elements in learning environments

We also want to hear from teachers who would like to run a pilot of the materials with their students.

The aim of the project:

The project aims to reduce the gender gap in the cybersecurity sector by bringing together private companies and higher education institutions in cooperation with schools. The Consortium supports schools in promoting cybersecurity careers to students and their parents by developing their problem-solving skills to respond to challenges; developing an on-line training course and virtual reality-based games; highlighting the positive role women play in ICT and showcases the career opportunities in cybersecurity.

The target groups of the project:

• Secondary school teachers and students
• Parents of secondary school students
• Anyone who wishes to gain insights into the gamification of learning and cybersecurity

Project Outputs:

Online training programmes for both teachers and students containing the following modules:

• Protecting Devices and Digital Content;

• Cybersecurity careers.
  

A multilingual video game for students on the following topics:
