“It opens tomorrow!”

Our Cyber Citizen project is part of the Designs for a Cooler Planet exhibition, which highlights experimental and creative concepts developed using research from Aalto University. The exhibition showcases radical, holistic approaches to addressing various societal challenges. This year, the exhibition theme is Agents of the Impossible. 

In the Cyber Citizen project, we explored how cybersecurity is taught and learned across the EU. We discovered that while games are becoming an increasingly popular way to learn, many current cybersecurity games focus on education at the expense of being fun and entertainment. To address this, we are developing the Cyber City Tycoon game, with a strong emphasis on creating a fun gaming experience while also providing insights to the cyber threats we all face. Additionally, to accommodate different learning preferences, in November 2024 we are launching the SecPort learning portal, which will offer Europeans a wide range of cybersecurity information. SecPort provides the resources and interactive tools to help people better protect their personal data and devices while enjoying the benefits technology can bring to our everyday life. 

The Cooler Planets exhibition is one of the three main events of Helsinki Design Week, and the exhibitions will be open at the Otaniemi campus in the new Marsio building from September 6 to October 3, 2024.

We invite you to visit and explore our project along with many other innovative exhibits: Designs for a Cooler Planet | Aalto University
