As a kid, you probably made some questionable passwords, like unicornrainbow123 🦄🌈.
The problem? Weak passwords are easy to guess, leaving your accounts unprotected 🔓.
We aim to bring awareness regarding cybersecurity to the younger generation in a fun and interactive way 🎮👾.

Our app teaches children how to build strong passwords through:

• Fun games 🎮
• A friendly, AI-powered chatbot 🤖
• Cute motivation ‘Key’ mascot 🔑

• Vanilla.js, HTML, CSS
• Node.js, Gemini API for the chat bot
• Figjam for ideation, Figma for design templates
• github.io pages to deploy initially
• GoDaddy for domain name 🌐

• Using and learning how to integrate Gemini API for the first time, as none of our members had previous experience in this area 🤔
• Our game progress bar was not moving properly ⏳
• We realized we were not implementing it in a logical sense 💡
• Being sleep-deprived (we all worked really hard and pulled all-nighters) 😴💪

• Integrating Gemini API successfully 🚀
• We are all beginner hackers and we successfully designed, created, and deployed a website within 24 hours, which is a big accomplishment for us! 🎨💻
  • 1 of our hackers is a 1st timer ✨
  • 2 of our hackers are 2nd timers 🔄
  • 1 of our hackers is a 3rd timer 🔄🔄
• Leveraging technology to build a more socially sustainable future for children 🌱💡

• Using Gemini API 🧑‍💻
• Learning how to deploy using a custom domain name 🌍
• Using Filmora to create the video demo 🎥
• Creating a kid-friendly UI/UX interactive design that had a mascot and vibrant color scheme 🎨🧸. We conducted various user interviews to understand our demographic better.

• Adding a database password manager simulation similar to 1Password so users can understand how to store their passwords in a safe and secure way 🔐
• Transforming the website into a Chrome extension that provides real-time reminders for creating strong passwords, like length and special character requirements 💬🔒
• Target cybersecurity education for elderly people who might get scammed because of lack of technological knowledge 👵💻
