Online Cyber Resources for 12 - 18 year olds

The NCA-Cyber Security Challenge UK initiative was announced in a joint press release with the NCSC and DCMS on Friday. There are two things that may be of use:

• 1.The National Crime Agency and Cyber Security Challenge UK have announced 12-18 year-olds can access their online cyber skills platform CyberLand for free during the coming months (until until at least September this year). The game is designed to teach teenagers the fundamentals of cyber security, players protect the virtual city 'CyberLand' from cyber-attacks while learning key cyber skills safely while on the right side of the law.
• 2.The government also announced a number of other online training courses to give UK school pupils the opportunity to learn and develop cyber security skills, this includes the launch of the National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC) hugely popular CyberFirst summer courses. The courses are moving online this year to help more than a thousand 14 to 17-year-olds develop important cyber skills from home during the coronavirus pandemic. Applications are now open and can be made on the CyberFirst website.
