Students will learn about cybersecurity and the importance of passwords to create a poster and commercial to show their NetSmartz, over a two-day lesson.

Students will be able to distinguish between weak and strong passwords and how passwords could have looked in Ancient Egypt!  Using the stamps, hieroglyphics stamps, magnetic letters, and papyrus paper, the students will be able to create passwords.  Dive into the differences in Ancient Egypt and today and learn how to keep your information safe!

Students will demonstrate how technology needs to be used appropriately and how to keep themselves and others safe on the internet and devices.  In this lesson, students will learn about how to use technology appropriately and focus on the rules of Netiquette. 

​​​​​​Students will be learning about the importance of building strong passwords! It's great that they will be able to see the real-world application of this concept through building pyramids like the ancient Egyptians. It's interesting to note how using different materials can determine the strength of a pyramid, just like how using different characters, symbols, and numbers can determine the strength of a password. This is a fun and engaging way for students to learn about cybersecurity.
