This initiative is specialized in spreading awareness and enriching the Arabic technical content, as well as supporting those interested in serving the community, through building a digital society that offers opportunities for young people to develop their cognitive and technical skills and contribute to raising technical awareness in the community.

The goal of "Be Educated to be Safe" is to educate parents on the proper use of electronic games, and the parental control services that allow parents to monitor the children's gaming activities.

On her part, the Leader of the team, Mrs. Aisha Al Shahrani explained , that communicating with children and educating them is more important than tracking and protecting them, since parents may not always be around their children to guide and protect them.
