🔐✨ Exciting Cybersecurity Learning at School! ✨🔐
Our students have been diving into the world of Cybersecurity with hands-on lessons that make safety fun and real! 3rd graders explored encryption by cracking codes using symbols and characters—turning secret messages into a thrilling challenge! 4th and 5th graders created password paths using color and directional codes, showing just how easy it is for hackers to crack weak passwords.
Thanks to Ms. Ezell, all students are learning how to create strong, safe passwords and why keeping them secure is so important. Plus, mini Sphero robots are adding extra excitement to the lessons!
Together, we’re building smart, safe digital citizens! 💻🔒
