Empowering Kids with Cyber Security Knowledge

In an era where digital technology is becoming increasingly essential in our daily lives, it is crucial to equip the younger generation with the knowledge they need to navigate the digital landscape safely. KidZania, a renowned children's role-playing facility operated by KCJ GROUP, is spearheading an initiative aimed at educated children about digital safety. Together with Palo Alto Networks, a leader in cybersecurity, they are organizing the Cyber Security Mission Rally.

Event Overview

The Cyber Security Mission Rally is set to take place at three KidZania locations: KidZania Tokyo, KidZania Koshien and KidZania Fukuoka, from June 19 to June 25, 2026. During this week-long event, children will have the opportunity to engage in interactive experiences designed to teach them the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity.

Why Cyber Security?

In Japan, we are witnessing a surge in the construction of AI-specific data centers and the rapid proliferation of generative AI technologies. However, along with these advancements, internet crimes and cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. It has become a pressing need for the future generations to acquire proper digital life knowledge that can safeguard them against potential online threats.

Learning Through Experience

The Cyber Security Mission Rally comprises three engaging missions that help children understand important aspects of the internet's ecosystem. This event encourages kids to appreciate the importance of using correct information and adhering to established online conduct rules.

As they participate, children will receive a Mission Rally Card at the entrance, which will guide them through several cybersecurity-themed quizzes located around the venue. Successfully answering all the questions will earn them a special prize, although stocks of the prizes are limited.

A Step Towards Safer Digital Lives

KCJ GROUP envisions that this event will not only impart essential knowledge to children about safely navigating a digital world but also ignite their interest in cybersecurity careers in the future. By empowering them with the right skills, they can become the guardians of our future digital society.
