Welcome to a new era of cybersecurity education! As the digital landscape evolves, so does the necessity for innovative and effective ways to educate and engage the public and professionals about cybersecurity. That’s why we at Bournemouth University are excited to host the forthcoming event, “Cybersecurity Learning through Game-Based Mechanisms,” on Tuesday, 27th August 2024.
Why Game-Based Learning?
In recent years, game-based learning has emerged as a potent educational tool, blending the excitement of gameplay with practical learning outcomes. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also enhances retention of information and skills. Games are a fantastic method for simulating real-life scenarios where players can practise problem-solving and decision-making in safe yet challenging environments.
Aim
The goal of this event is to gather insights from seasoned professionals like yourself to guide the development of an innovative board game focused on Cyber Prevent themes around Computer Misuse and related E-safety with education around cybersecurity. Your feedback will be instrumental in ensuring that our educational tools are not only effective but also resonate well with both educational and professional settings.
What to Expect at the Event
Our event will feature a series of interactive sessions where participants can dive into games like Potato Pirates, Cyber Attack, Decrypto, and our innovative CyGamBIT. These games are designed to teach cybersecurity concepts in an accessible and enjoyable manner. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Interactive Gameplay: Get hands-on experience with games that teach you to think like a hacker and defend like a cyber expert.
- Expert Discussions: Hear from leading cybersecurity professionals about the latest threats and how to protect against them.
