For teachers

Drop it into a lesson without a setup meeting.

Everything here runs in a browser tab. There is nothing to install, no class codes to hand out, and no student accounts to create — so nothing about your students leaves your room.

About

Why this exists

Most students meet their first phishing attempt years before anyone teaches them what one looks like. Gaming for Learning closes that gap with short, practical cybersecurity lessons that a teacher can run in a single period.

Each lesson asks students to do the work an analyst does: read the evidence, weigh what is strong and what is weak, and decide on a safe next step. The same habits carry into a career — you can explore where at GetIntoCyberJobs.com.
