What is a Trusted Adult?
A trusted adult is someone in your life who listens, helps keep you safe, and supports you, like a parent, guardian, teacher, or family member. If anything ever feels weird, wrong, or confusing, tell them right away!

Meeting In Person with your team

• Always meet in public, busy places (like a school, library, or community center).
• Let your parents or guardians know where you are going and who you are meeting.
• In Technovation activities, you should always meet with other team members or a trusted adult present. Never meet alone with a mentor or volunteer, even if you know them.
• If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe during a Technovation meeting, you can leave immediately and tell a trusted adult. You won't get in trouble for leaving or reporting.

Quick Online Safety Tips

• Keep it private: Never share personal info like your full name, address, or phone number online.
• Ask before using new apps: Talk to your parents or guardians before downloading new apps or making online accounts.
• Play games to learn: Try fun games like Be Internet Awesome to learn how to be a great digital citizen!
