Cyber Security Activities for Young People
Resources for ​Employers and Educators
Discover Cyber Security Activities
Cyber security is a vital skill for young people, helping them navigate the digital world safely and confidently. This resource hub brings together a curated collection of activities designed for classroom sessions, workshops, and group learning. Educators and employers can explore a range of activities, tailored by age group, activity type, and time required, to make cyber security learning engaging and practical.​
How to use these resources
Activities are organised by age group to reflect different learning stages across the curriculum - Primary School, BGE High School, and Senior Phase S4-S6. This makes it easy for teachers and partners to quickly find content that is appropriate for their learners.

The hub is designed to support collaboration between educators and industry volunteers, making it simple for cyber security professionals to select activities that align with their expertise and the needs of the classroom.
