MASK NEXT GEN
MASK NEXT GEN
MASK NextGen (Myra Ana Security for Kids) is more than a platform—it’s a digital safety movement for the next generation. Powered by Myra Ana, our interactive cyber guardian, MASK uses Duolingo-style microlearning, with short, interactive missions that makes learning fun and sticky.
No classrooms required. No tech degree needed. MASK is built to be deployed anytime, anywhere—in school, at home, or on-the-go—so kids have access to safety tools 24x7.
Why it matters:
Kids aged 8–12 spend over 5 hours online daily (Common Sense Media, 2023)
1 in 3 children experience online bullying before age 13 (UNICEF, 2023)
90% of teens believe cybercrime is “unavoidable” (Pew Research, 2022)
We’re addressing a critical gap: most students are using the internet daily before they’re ever taught how to navigate it safely. MASK NextGen builds digital awareness early, at school and at home, with support from teachers, families, and community partners.
Why should you care?
Why Parents Should Care
The Risks Are Real—and Closer Than You Think
In 2023, the FBI reported over 7,000 cases of child sextortion, with victims as young as 10. Tragically, at least 20 children died by suicide after being exploited online. These predators often pose as peers, using the same apps and games your child uses every day.
💬 1 in 4 teens report seeing or experiencing unwanted sexual content online.
📱Most never tell a parent or trusted adult.
