Inspiration

Especially during this pandemic, we see a lot of our peers entering personal information and getting hacked. We wanted to spread awareness of this issue and educate people, especially younger people who do not know much about this topic, so that they are safe and prepared for such crimes occurring again.

What it does

Our website has information on what hackers do, how to prevent yourself from hacking, what to do if you have been hacked, experiences from people around the world, and news articles of recent security breaches. There is also a code for a password checker/generator and a google form on the website where you can share your own experiences (to be later added to the website).

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to code our website and to store all our source code we used repl.it. To share our experiences of hacking, we used Google Forms and to make our pitch, we used Google Slides.

Challenges we ran into

It took us time to think of ways to make our site look more professional. Another challenge we had was that we only had 3 teammates instead of 4.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have finished our project in time by collaborating and dividing up work equally. We are proud of the information we were able to put together, and provide services such as the password checker that can be helpful for the people who are viewing it.

What we learned

We learned more about Cybersecurity and what we can do to help younger people stay safe and be aware of the dangers and concerns of hackers. We also learned how much there is to learn about security and how easily hackers can steal your information if you are not careful.

What's next for Cybersecurity Awareness

Our first step is to implement this website into school lessons and make a complete curriculum for cyber security. There will be more features, such as an interactive game so that children will be able to recall all the information they learned. We will also create a program that will immediately update the information (that was submitted onto the Google Form) onto the experiences portion of the website. Another step will be to format the website differently and more professionally so it is easier for people to access any information that they want to look at.
