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.
