An unplugged activity is a way to learn about computer science concepts without using a computer! A Personal Data Scavenger Hunt is a fun, hands-on activity where kids explore what personal information is, where it's stored (both online and offline), and why it's important to protect it. Think of it like a treasure hunt, but the treasure is knowledge about staying safe in our digital world.
This activity helps children understand what information about them is considered personal, like their name, address, birthday, and even their favorite color. By finding examples of this information around their home, in their school, or online (with adult supervision!), kids can build awareness and learn about privacy in a practical way.
