| Popis: | Various countries run campaigns that aim to spot gifted students early on, be it about PISA tests, talented musicians and singers, or winners of other contests and competitions. The same applies to cybersecurity and digital safety. While there are several competitions for upper grades such as European Cyber Security Challenge (EU), CyberPatriot (USA), CyberSpike and CyberCracker (Estonia), recent initiatives like Safer Internet aim to target younger children as well. This paper introduces a successful initiative in Estonia called CyberPin that was launched in Spring 2020 by Tallinn University of Technology (together with participants from upper-level cybersecurity contests), aiming to help schools spot gifted students from grades 1 to 6. The one-month competition in February 2020 had 7568 Estonian-speaking and 1305 Russian-speaking participants. The results show differences by mother tongue, but also by gender. We also had a critical look at the pilot test in order to improve the oncoming 2021 event. |
