Students can design a playable cyber-maze that is designed to educate and increase awareness of staying safe online.

They session was led by Microsoft’s coding guru, Andrew Balzer to program and build a cyber maze using Microsoft MakeCode, a web-based coding application. Andrew guided students with step-by-step instructions in a live demo.

Students learnt to:

  • develop digital solutions to problems

  • construct algorithms
  • use their design and computational thinking skills.
