Cryptokids: empower kids and provide tools for them to be more secure and to take charge of their own data

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 6, 2017, 3:40 p.m. (60 minutes).

Talk by Henk (waag Society) and Evelyn Austin (Bits of Freedom). Cryptokids does just that. In a collaboration with Waag Society, Bits of Freedom and Network Democracy, we develop a series of lessons for kids aged ten to fourteen, in which they gain insight into the technical structure of the Internet, how data works, who is actually in charge online and why privacy matters. But more importantly, we try to empower them and provide tools for them to be more secure and to take charge of their own data when they surf the web. In this lecture we will explain the project. Why and how we started, where we are now, and what are the lessons learned. #Kids #Society #NetworkSecurity
