In honor of Safer Internet Day, Minecraft: Education Edition is launching a new, immersive experience to teach kids about internet safety and online dangers.
Online Privacy for Kids – Internet Safety and Security for Kids
The experience is called CyberSafe: Home Sweet Hmm and is designed to teach young players how to protect themselves and their private information while online. The Education Collection will be available on the Minecraft Marketplace starting in March and will be available for free.
In the game, young players are faced with four main challenges that teach cybersecurity lessons, ranging from protecting their passwords to avoiding scams. The first challenge involves verifying game handles and connecting to the right person.
The second challenge teaches children not to give away their login details, the third revolves around protecting personal information, and the final challenge reminds the player to be skeptical of online deals.
