As digital skills become increasingly vital in the classroom and beyond, ICTC is proud to launch National CyberDay 2025 in partnership with KnowledgeFlow Cybersafety Foundation.
National CyberDay is a free, online initiative designed to support K–12 educators to integrate digital skills into their curriculum through engaging, low-preparation resources.
This year’s edition includes six “missions” organized around a central spy-themed narrative, making complex topics more accessible and interactive for students of all ages.
Educators who register and indicate they will use the resources with more than 30 students will also be eligible for a prize draw.
