"Cyber Snackz® Adventures in Cybersecurity” is an introductory cybersecurity activity book centered around a team of adorable animals who work in different areas of cybersecurity.
The activity book was developed by a group of parents, educators, and cybersecurity professionals with a passion for investing in the next generation. The goal is to engage elementary school students to teach them age-appropriate cybersecurity principles in a fun and educational way with activities guided by a relatable cast of animal characters with engaging activities and coloring pages. We hope you enjoy the activity book like so many others have!
