Show HN: Digital privacy game for middle schoolers, our Harvard final project
For our final project in CS105, Technology and Privacy, my friend and I made an educational game about digital privacy for middle schoolers! We'd love any feedback or suggestions.
- KomoD 4y agoI'm sorry but, you expect middle schoolers to understand this?
- sarigari 4y agoFair point! I generally think that older middle schoolers (so, 12-14) have some nebulous notion of digital privacy issues but may not be sure what that actually entails, which is what we're trying to help solve (drawing on the fact that parents seem quite concerned with privacy [1,2] + "digital citizenship" lesson plans for middle schoolers [3,4]). But balancing discussing complicated topics with ease of understanding was definitely a challenge when writing out out the script. Which parts do you think might be too complex?
