goal in this hackathon is to develop new, fun,
straightforward games that teach people how to stay safe
and secure on the web. In 24 hours, teams will choose a
project from the menu of options, come up with a basic
game concept, and implement a simple prototype that puts
the user “in the driver’s seat” and makes abstract
cybersecurity principles real in a visceral way. Outputs
will be judged based on creativity, usability, polish,
and likelihood of actually changing the habits of the
player.</span></p>
