Tech & Cybersecurity education for kids and parents
Introduction
Digital Knights is an upcoming after-school academy in South Dublin for teaching children tech and cybersecurity skills to prepare them for entry into the digital world.
Students aged 7-15 will learn to become technically self-sufficient digital citizens who understand how to manage their devices, data and digital footprint in order to navigate online spaces safely and privately.
They will also develop a strong foundation in computer science and cybersecurity principles to give them a head start in secondary school and beyond.
Parents will be included in the learning journey with regular updates and resources to support their children at home, and content on relevant topics to help stay informed.
Digital Knights was set up by father, Computer Science PhD, Trinity College Assistant Professor and CISSP Cybersecurity expert, John Sloan.
