Alliance Cyber Gives - Education in Action

Education in Action

The Alliance Cyber Education initiative delivers age-adaptable cybersecurity lessons designed to engage elementary, middle, and high school students through clear, memorable digital safety principles.

Through visual learning tools, structured messaging, and character-based reinforcement, students build safe online habits that support long-term digital resilience.

This program complements our IgnitED Classroom Grant by providing scalable, classroom-ready cyber safety resources.

Meet ACE (Alliance Cyber Explorer)

At the center of the program is ACE — the Alliance Cyber Explorer.

ACE is a friendly, confident protector who helps students make smart choices online. Designed with a bold “A” silhouette inspired by Alliance Cyber’s brand mark, ACE reinforces instant recognition while remaining approachable and age-appropriate.

ACE encourages:

• Smart decision-making
• Safe online behavior
• Digital confidence
• Positive communication

Rather than using fear-based messaging, ACE celebrates safe choices and gently redirects risky ones.

The ACE Color-Coded

Digital Safety Framework

Education in Action is built around a structured, color-coded learning system that reinforces key cybersecurity habits through visual consistency and repetition.

Each color represents a specific safety lesson, allowing students to quickly recognize and remember core digital principles.

Our framework is organized into five core learning shields:

🛡️ Think Before You Click

Helping students recognize scams, phishing attempts, suspicious links, pop-ups, and misleading offers.

🛡️ Protect Your Identity

Teaching password strength, privacy awareness, two-step verification, and personal information protection.

🛡️ Smart Sharing & Social Media Safety

Building awareness around digital footprints, responsible posting, and safe communication habits.

🛡️ Kindness & Digital Boundaries

Encouraging respectful online behavior, anti-bullying awareness, and knowing when to ask for help.

🛡️ Device & System Safety

Promoting strong cyber hygiene habits including updates, safe downloads, backups, and device protection.

The Be Cyber Safe Series

The Be Cyber Safe sticker series translates cybersecurity best practices into simple, memorable visual lessons that students can understand at a glance.

Protection Without Fear

Threats are presented as silly, exaggerated, and easily defeated by smart choices.

This scalable structure allows schools and partners to implement programming that aligns with developmental stages while maintaining consistent brand reinforcement.
