In Home Sweet Hmm, teach students to spot the sneaky phishing scams, protect their passwords, and explore how the cloud keeps their favourite photos safe. In CloudCraft & Privacy Prodigy, introduce students to data privacy and data centers, helping them to not only guard their personal data but also build awareness into careers that are shaping our digital world. These Minecraft worlds were created in partnership with XBOX Family Safety and Microsoft.

Cyber Fundamentals (Ages 10-14) - A comprehensive exploration of cyber security concepts, from malware to ethics. Students get hands-on with network components and encryption techniques. From malware mysteries to layered security showdowns, make the world of cyber security tangible and relatable in Network Heroes & The Interceptors! Explore Cloud Champions for cyber career paths and ethics as you save the school’s network as part of the Incident Response Team. Who said middle school couldn't shape future cyber security leaders?

Cyber Expert (Ages 13-18) - Go deeper into advanced topics like encryption and social engineering. Witness the effects of malware and learn techniques to combat it. Cryptic Ciphers & Daring Defense covers encryption, decryption, and message integrity—it’s not just about warding off attacks but understanding the why and how.
