Child online safety
Every child can thrive safely online.
ShieldKid teaches children to explore the internet with confidence, and equips the parents, carers and teachers beside them.
Why we existWhy we exist
A child's first experience of danger may not be on a street. It may be behind a screen, at home, while the adults nearby believe they are safe.
ShieldKid was founded by Ekedoro Elizabeth, a cybersecurity analyst and AI researcher. We close the gap between digital risk and digital literacy. We don't teach children to fear the internet. We teach them, and the adults they trust, how to use it well.
