Web Wise Kids

The Web Wise Kids mission is to teach kids, parents and the community the value of making safe and wise choices in a technologically evolving world. We do this by creating and distributing interactive content through the same media in which kids and adults live their lives.

Our programs assist youth to confidently manage cyber security issues like sexting, bullying, piracy, fraud, online romances, cyber stalking, and other online hazards. We take a “hands-on, minds-on” approach to education by offering challenging and realistic digital games that have been specially designed to assist young people to evaluate their online activities and experiences, and take appropriate actions to stay safe online. Simulations that demonstrate the importance of digital citizenship and allow students the opportunity to witness the consequences of poor online choices are an integral component of all our programs.
