Digital Guardians

Project Overview: A controlled investigation into the utility of gamification to enhance cyber-safety for Indigenous children. The study will determine if:​


  • Children get better at cybersecurity and achieve increased cyber-safety using a gamified approach over traditional pedagogical approaches. ​

  • Language and stories are kept alive: The program helps pass down traditional knowledge and language in a modern format, which can make it easier for younger generations to stay engaged with their roots.​


The goal is to identify new ways to teach in the future. ​
