Every Child's Online World Is Different.Their Safety Plan Should Be Too.

Parents needed more than
awareness — they needed action

Every child experiences the internet differently. Some spend hours gaming, others live on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or messaging apps. Age, personality, online behaviour, friendship groups, family environment, mental wellbeing, and digital habits all create very different levels of online risk.

Traditional cyber safety websites give every family the same advice. HackHeroes wanted to change that — building a platform capable of delivering personalized guidance instead of one-size-fits-all recommendations.

Built around each child,
not a generic checklist

A guided journey,
not a traditional dashboard

Welcome & Child Assessment

The starting point for every family. Parents answer a warm, guided set of questions about their child's digital behaviour, friendships, platforms, and emotional wellbeing — never clinical, always practical.

• Multi-step, low-friction question flow
• Covers behaviour, platforms, and family context
• Designed to feel supportive, not like a test

Risk Profile

Assessment answers are translated into a clear, non-alarming risk profile — highlighting where a child's online environment needs attention, without labelling or judging the family.

• Digital wellbeing score, explained simply
• Key risk factors surfaced in plain language
• Foundation for every downstream recommendation

Personalized Recommendations

The recommendation engine turns a risk profile into a living action plan — practical activities, conversation starters, and resources drawn from a library of 400+ options.

• Recommendations matched to individual risk factors
• Mix of conversation starters and hands-on activities
• Updates as the child's profile evolves

Calendar Integration

Recommendations become real routines. Activities sync directly into the family calendar via Google Calendar integration, so digital safety habits sit alongside everyday life rather than existing as a separate to-do list.

• Google Calendar sync for every recommended activity
• Weekly view keeps routines visible and achievable
• Reminders that respect family schedules

Admin Dashboard

Behind every family experience sits a role-based admin portal for managing users, content, and reporting — giving the HackHeroes team full oversight without slowing down the parent-facing product.

• Role-based administration and permissions
• Reporting dashboards across the platform
• Secure authentication and user management

Personalized at scale,
simple for every parent

Every technical decision focused on creating a scalable education platform capable of delivering highly personalized experiences while remaining simple enough for parents of all technical backgrounds.

More than an educational
website — a digital ecosystem

HackHeroes was designed as more than an educational website. It became a personalized digital parenting platform capable of supporting thousands of families through individualized cyber safety journeys. The modular architecture allows future AI capabilities, behavioural insights, and school partnerships to be introduced without disrupting the platform.
