Get ready to dive into a fast-paced, hands-on cyber security challenge that will test your logic, teamwork, and digital know-how. This interactive experience is designed to boost awareness around online safety while sparking curiosity about careers in tech.
The scenario: A digital security simulation has been triggered. Your team must work against the clock to solve a series of computer-based puzzles and challenges. Decoding clues, analysing patterns, and thinking like a hacker—do you have what it takes to complete the challenge before time runs out?
Ideal for teams of 2–4 participants, this activity is suitable for all students, and anyone curious about cybersecurity, regardless of technical background and experience levels. A host will introduce the scenario, guide the rules, and manage the countdown. Depending on your group, the host may offer hints or simply observe your progress.
Each session runs for about 20 minutes and provides a fun, engaging way to explore cyber security and computational thinking in action.
