HackWednesday / Owl Academy

Little explorers.
Safer digital adventures.

Meet four forest friends. Learn to protect your secrets, spot tricky messages, and question what AI tells you.

Designed for ages 8-12 to explore with a trusted grown-up. Four short stops, at your own pace.

A small adventure in safer choices

Pick a place in the forest.

Stop 1 / Bea's account lodge

Protect your account

Bea builds a different lock for every lodge. A password should be long, unique, and kept private. Ask a trusted grown-up to help set up a password manager or a passkey where available.

Unique password
Extra sign-in protection
Keep codes private

Try it together

With a grown-up, find where an app offers extra sign-in protection. Do not type a real password here.

Your turn

A player asks for your login code to give you a prize. What should you do?

0 of 4 stops explored. No timer. Take your time and try again whenever you like.

For families and educators

These fictional stories are conversation starters, not a test of whether a child is safe online. Encourage asking for help, not secrecy or blame. No AI chat, account, upload, or real password is needed for these activities.

Answers and progress stay in this page's memory and reset on reload. This activity does not send answers to a server. The site's usual privacy choices still apply to general site analytics. Follow the age rules of any service you use together.

On devices that request reduced motion, the animal animations are disabled automatically. You can also pause them above the map.
