Our Cyber Citizen project is part of the Designs for a Cooler Planet exhibition, which highlights experimental and creative concepts developed using research from Aalto University. The exhibition showcases radical, holistic approaches to addressing various societal challenges. This year, the exhibition theme is Agents of the Impossible. In the Cyber Citizen project, we explored how cybersecurity is taught and learned across the EU. We discovered that while games are becoming an increasingly popular way to learn, many current cybersecurity games focus on education at the expense of being fun and entertainment. To address this, we are developing the Cyber City Tycoon game, with a strong emphasis on creating a fun gaming experience while also providing insights to the cyber threats we all face. Additionally, to accommodate different learning preferences, in November 2024 we are launching the SecPort learning portal, which will offer Europeans a wide range of cybersecurity information. SecPort provides the resources and interactive tools to help people better protect their personal data and devices while enjoying the benefits technology can bring to our everyday life. The Cooler Planets exhibition is one of the three main events of Helsinki Design Week, and the exhibitions will be open at the Otaniemi campus in the new Marsio building from September 6 to October 3, 2024. We invite you to visit and explore our project along with many other innovative exhibits: https://lnkd.in/gn5Xz5Kx #CyberCitizenProject #CyberCityTycoon #CoolerPlanet2024

Our team had an incredible experience #Gamescom 🎮 and it was very rewarding for both our Cyber Citizen project and our Cyber City Tycoon game! According to our game lead, Antti Orasvuo, "Players' reactions to the game have been overwhelmingly positive. They clearly had a great time with it. Beyond the entertainment, people have really appreciated the concept: a free game without any hidden profit-driven elements. The ad feature has also been seen as innovative - rather than promoting other games for profit, we provide educational content about cybersecurity. Plus, offering the game in all official EU languages has been a big hit." Gamescom 2024 was a big success with 335,000 visitors from around 120 countries and over 32,000 trade visitors from all over the world. Showcasing our game has provided our team with a fantastic opportunity to engage in broader conversations about our project and cybersecurity among people. We’ll keep these discussions going! A big thank you to everyone who visited our booth and to #Gamescom organizers for making this incredible event possible! #CyberCityTycoonGame #Gamescom2024 #GameDevelopment #Cybersecurity #CyberCitizenProject

How can we better protect ourselves and our loved ones? In our latest blog post, the human side of cybersecurity is explored, delving into the challenges faced by all and the importance of raising public awareness through engaging learning methods. The Cyber Citizen project is making strides with engaging tools like the Cyber City Tycoon game and the learning portal, designed to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Our Project Manager Marianne Lindroth and Game Lead Antti Orasvuo had the privilege of visiting the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) last week. During their visit, they showcased our project's outputs, including our engaging game and a learning portal that compiles cybersecurity information. They also gained valuable insights into ENISA's awareness and education activities. Futhermore, they laid the groundwork for future collaborations, ensuring continued synergy and success. The collaboration will continue to be excellent in the future as well! 🤝 #cybercitizenproject #cybersecurity #collaboration #ENISA #teamwork

📣 Interviewees needed for a study on smart phone control! Take part in Joel's Master's thesis study examining data collection's role in our everyday smart phone relationships. No expertise required. Interested? Contact the researcher for more info! Feel free to share with others!
Take part in a study! I’m looking for adult participants for my Master’s thesis study that examines the role of data collection in people’s everyday relationships with their smart phones. During the study participants will get a chance to critically reflect on the role of smart phones in their everyday lives and to hopefully learn something new in the process. Taking part doesn’t require any expertise on the topic. Both English and Finnish speakers are welcome to take part! Taking part in the study consists of two 30-60 min interviews and a period of self-documentation during which participants are instructed to do 3 tasks in total, that take about 30-45 min each. The timing and practicalities of each task are agreed upon in the first interview. The tasks and responses will be sent via email or in WhatsApp or Telegram. Self-documentation can be done using a smart phone, a computer, or voice recordings. The tasks include documenting your phone use, mapping and thinking about your digital footprint, and getting familiar with settings on your phone and in some applications. In the concluding interview, experiences of completing the study are discussed. Interviews will be held between May and August via Microsoft Teams. It is possible to partake with or without video. The interviews will be recorded, transcribed, and pseudonymized. Participants will not be identifiable from the final study. If you recognize yourself as someone who would like to participate or you need additional information, reach out to me through the link below. Feel free to share this message to anyone you think would be interested in it! https://lnkd.in/dPgMPguv
