Why this matters

A convincing message and edited video spread through a school group chat. Learners must check evidence, protect accounts and decide what to share.

Key vocabulary

Each mission introduces its own vocabulary through examples, scenarios and knowledge checks.

Learning outcomes

  1. explain the module's core vocabulary;
  2. recognise common risks and uncertainties;
  3. compare at least two response options;
  4. select proportionate, lawful and ethical actions;
  5. identify when adult or professional help is needed;
  6. complete a safe practical or paper-based activity;
  7. communicate a decision clearly;
  8. reflect on a mistake without shame;
  9. transfer the skill to home, online or community life; and
  10. complete a capstone scenario.

06.01

Introduction to AI and Everyday Data

This mission helps learners understand what ai is and how it's used in surveillance, recognize where ai monitoring occurs (cctv, online tracking) and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.02

How Algorithms Work, Make Errors and Show Bias

This mission helps learners understand simple algorithm concepts (if/then rules), learn that ai can be fooled by unusual patterns or data anomalies and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.03

Facial Recognition, Consent and Your Rights

This mission helps learners explain simply how facial-recognition systems compare patterns, discuss consent, error and fairness and use lawful privacy choices and seek adult help with concerns. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.04

Encryption, Passwords and Secure Communication

This mission helps learners understand encryption (scrambling messages) and why it's needed, learn simple ciphers and the idea of end-to-end encrypted apps and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.05

Offline Communication and Family Contact Plans

This mission helps learners create an offline family contact plan, use agreed meeting points and paper contact details and avoid secret communication systems or obstructing lawful safety work. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.06

Trusted Information Networks and Verification

This mission helps learners understand the value of building trusted human networks (friends, neighbors) for information sharing, learn how cooperating with others increases safety and reduces reliance on tech and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.07

Paper Maps, Mechanical Tools and Backup Systems

This mission helps learners learn how to navigate and secure belongings without digital tools (gps replaced by paper maps, electronic locks replaced by mechanical ones), understand basic signaling with lights, whistles, or codes and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.08

Reducing Your Digital Footprint

This mission helps learners learn to limit data online, use minimal personal info, and rely more on human networks and analog tools, explore harmless misinformation to avoid accurate profiling (e.g., random searches, dummy accounts) and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.09

Ethical & Legal Boundaries

This mission helps learners understand that while privacy is important, we must respect laws and not use these skills for harm, learn to balance security with civic responsibility and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.
Launch
06.10

Digital Disruption Scenario and Review

This mission helps learners apply learned concepts in a scenario where digital systems fail or are compromised by ai, reinforce human networks, analog tools, and privacy tactics and choose when to pause, involve a trusted adult or follow official guidance. The aim is confident judgement, not risky independence.

≈ 30 minutesAdult-led for ages 5–7; guided independence for older pathways.

Parent and educator note

Review the supervision indicator before practical activities. Encourage learners to explain their reasoning and treat asking for help as a positive learning outcome.
