Osint Challenge at the Innovation Gymnasium
Tuesday 11 February is a landmark date for young Italians: as well as being Safer Internet Day, it is World Women and Girls in Science Day, and concludes the second National Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Week.
To mark the occasion, as part of the Coding Girls project, we are organising an Open Source Intelligence Challenge to teach girls and boys how to safely navigate and interpret data and information online. Challenging themselves in the challenge will be 56 students from two high schools in Rome and Lazio with the aim of promoting a more aware use and navigation of the web, with a special focus on young women.
Students, divided into teams, put all their creativity and research skills into play, acquiring new skills in assessing cyber risks and vulnerabilities of their devices, confronting the issues of privacy and data security. The challenge is based on Open Source Intelligence (Osint) activities to learn to reflect on the importance of responsibly and consciously guarding the information one shares online. The young 007s of the web set out to research, collect and analyse data and news items to obtain information according to the challenge launched at the start of the morning.
