Working on the Cyber Explorers platform, students explored a virtual world where they learned about different cyber skills and how these connect to future careers. They took on a range of challenges, putting their knowledge into practice and building their problem-solving skills along the way.

The programme was a great way to get students thinking about how digital technology is used in everyday life and why it’s so important for the future. It also gave them the chance to learn in a fun, interactive way.
