Between cookies, passphrases, phishing and ransomware attacks, getting to grips with online security is a complex and ever changing territory for all of us. Every aspect of our lives is impacted by advancing technological tools and systems that offer all sorts of opportunities and convenience, as well as risk and vulnerability. Big questions about freedom, privacy, and security, as well as technological know-how, are rich areas for the curriculum and can be explored from the perspective of any subject area making it a superb opportunity for cross-curricular learning.

To celebrate EU cybersecurity month we have a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their adventures learning about this shiny and sometimes scary Cyberland and the security that keeps them safe while online. Students are warmly invited to create projects reflecting on their experience of learning about any aspect of Cybersecurity. Selected entries will be collated into a digital book which will be accessible online to share students’ experience of learning about Cybersecurity with schools across Ireland.
