Keep your games and online secrets safe from sneaky internet critters, just like I hide my best snacks!
2034Where this could take you
When you're a teen in 2034, you'll be a digital guardian, protecting important Olympic event data from cyber-prowlers.
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Cybersecurity for Beginners Book
RequiredA plain-English intro to how hackers think and how you protect yourself — goes deeper than this quest and keeps it interesting with real stories. Great for ages 12 and up.
YubiKey Security Key
RequiredA physical USB key you plug in to prove it is really you logging in. Way stronger than any SMS code, and almost impossible for a hacker to bypass remotely. Works with Gmail, GitHub, and hundreds of other sites.
Password Manager Sticker Pack / Notebook
A dedicated small notebook to store your Bitwarden master password hint and backup codes in a secure offline spot — never store these digitally.
