Intended For Grades 4th-6th
Troubleshooting
Due to high internet traffic caused by policies put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 there may be issues when trying to install or update Clean Up. If you receive any message above the updating bar that says a file was corrupted try to press the "Repair Game" button at the top center area of the CIASLauncher. If that doesn't work try closing and opening the CIASLauncher. If all else fails you'll need to open the folder the CIASLauncher is in, navigate into the "Games" folder and delete the "CleanUp" folder. Once that is done you will be able to install Clean Up again through the CIASLauncher.
Notes for v1.0.0 -- April 2, 2020
In this exciting defense module, 4th-6th grade students take the helm of an anti-malware program protecting a system from threats like viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Students must weave out of danger and remove as many threats as possible, while also collecting emails from trusted senders and correctly answering security questions to gain bonus points.
Clean Up was originally released the 30th of July 2015 in partnership with the AFA in order to provide 4th-6th grade students with knowledge over various viruses and online safety.
After playing Clean Up, players will:
- Understand that not all emails can be trusted or should be opened
- Learn about viruses, worms, and trojan horses as well as how they may negatively impact you
- Learn about firewalls as a form of protect from unwanted traffic
The overall goal is for the player to have fun while learning.
