Cybercrime is a growing problem, we also notice this in municipality Borne. That is why the municipality Borne is participating in Hackshield. Together with police, we are calling on as many children as possible from 8 to 12 years of age to play the game Hackshield. By playing the game, children can become Cyber Agents who recognize and can prevent online danger. This is how they learn to protect themselves and their environment from cyber criminals.
Hackshield is an online game that empowers children between 8 and 12 years old against cybercrime. This exciting game trains children to become Junior Cyber Agents who can protect themselves and their environment from online danger. This way they not only learn something themselves, they can also advise others. By playing the game children learn about different themes, answer questions and earn ‘shields’ as proof that they know the do’s and don’ts online.
Becoming a Junior Cyber Agent
Children who play the game in the municipality of Borne have a chance to win fun prizes and become the best Junior Cyber Agent. As a Junior Cyber Agent, children also have a chance to be honored by the police and mayor in the spring of 2023.
Participate
Children from the municipality of Borne who want to help the police and municipality against cybercrime can register at www.joinhackshield.nl and choose municipality Borne. The game can be played online on the website or through the app for cell phones and tablets.
