Navigating the Digital Universe

Navigating the Digital Universe introduces students to digital citizenship in a fun, exploratory space. In the introductory lesson, students meet the hosts of their journey, President Teddy and Chancellor Axel. Their guides explain that a gloomy haze has settled over the planets in the kid-run solar system. The more reckless the residents behave, the thicker the haze becomes. To help teach residents what it means to be good digital citizens in the hopes of lifting the haze, Teddy and Axel built a friendly robot, Maze. But before teaching others, Maze must first learn what it means to good digital citizen! This is where the students come in…they join Maze on a journey around the solar system to learn more about digital citizenship.
