At the high school, there was a dialogue with the students, and they watched informational videos where the minister and his colleagues explained and provided information. At the foundation-level school, interactive games were organized where the students had to protect the minister, who acted as the "password," while an official played the role of the "hacker." The students were also taught about various aspects of the digital world related to "Hackshield" and the important precautions to take when accessing the worldwide web.
