Children ages 8-12 spend an increasingly large amount of time online consuming digital media on computers, tablets and smartphones. Educating children at an early age of the dangers that exist online is critical for safeguarding against such dangers and helping children become responsible digital citizens. This project will develop and implement a promising approach to cybersecurity education that utilizes interactive stories to advance children's learning of online safety, privacy and security. The project will deliver these stories on a social robot, which can autonomously interact with students through a set of rules. The use of social robots as learning companions will provide students with an interactive experience and will promote greater engagement and interest in cybersecurity. There are four goals driving this work: (1) iteratively design a collection of interactive stories addressing key cybersecurity concepts; (2) prototype the stories on a social robot; (3) increase student knowledge of key cybersecurity concepts, understanding of the importance of cybersecurity, and potential interest in cybersecurity careers; and (4) create instruments for monitoring project goals and participant outcomes. The work will be situated in schools and community-based organizations, serving a diverse population, including students who are traditionally underrepresented in computing. Ongoing research as well as formative and summative evaluation will help identify insights and lessons learned for advancing cybersecurity education and broadening student participation in computing. Given the wide attention on cybersecurity in the workforce, this work will serve as a model for promoting changes in K-12 education in a manner that supports students' learning by using cutting edge technologies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

8-12岁的儿童在电脑、平板电脑和智能手机上花费越来越多的时间在线消费数字媒体。 在儿童早期教育他们了解网上存在的危险，对于防范这些危险和帮助儿童成为负责任的数字公民至关重要。 该项目将制定和实施一种有前途的网络安全教育方法，利用互动故事促进儿童对在线安全、隐私和安保的学习。该项目将在社交机器人上提供这些故事，该机器人可以通过一套规则自主与学生互动。使用社交机器人作为学习伙伴将为学生提供互动体验，并将促进对网络安全的更大参与和兴趣。有四个目标推动这项工作：（1）迭代设计一系列互动故事，解决关键的网络安全概念;（2）在社交机器人上制作故事原型;（3）增加学生对关键网络安全概念的知识，理解网络安全的重要性，以及对网络安全职业的潜在兴趣;（4）创建用于监控项目目标和参与者成果的工具。这项工作将设在学校和社区组织，服务于不同的人群，包括传统上在计算方面代表性不足的学生。正在进行的研究以及形成性和总结性评估将有助于确定见解和经验教训，以推进网络安全教育和扩大学生对计算的参与。鉴于劳动力对网络安全的广泛关注，这项工作将成为促进K-12教育变革的典范，以支持学生使用尖端技术进行学习。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
