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 Dangerbots. 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 "Dangerbots" folder. Once that is done you will be able to install Dangerbots again through the CIASLauncher.
Notes for v1.0.0 -- April 2, 2020
Megabyte City is under attack! 4th-6th grade students must stop Dr. Malbot from taking over Megabyte City by defeating his three Mega Bosses. Virus Bot has unleashed crippling viruses to bring the main frame down, Crypto Bot has broken through passwords protecting the power station, and PopUp Bot has overrun communications. Learning about security tools and strong passwords will take this malware down!
Dangerbots was originally released the 30th of July 2015 in partnership with the AFA in order to provide 4th-6th grade students with knowledge over virus protection, password security, and pop-ups.
After playing Dangerbots, players will:
- Learn the importance of secure authentication as well as how to create strong passwords and usernames
- Understand that pop-ups may be malicious and how to avoid being compromised by them
- Learn about malware/viruses and anti-malware software
The overall goal is for the player to have fun while learning.
