Project poster

Today’s technical landscape is constantly changing; in many ways this increased innovation is beneficial. However, continuous innovation also means practices and technological norms are changing at a fast pace. The majority of today’s youth are growing up with technology firmly integrated into their lives. We see it as our duty to educate kids on these potentially dangerous norms and practices they are at exposed to on a daily basis. PrivacyPal serves as a modernized education tool to meet these goals: protecting and empowering kids to create an informed and healthy relationship with technology.
