alphaPlan · For parents
Your teenager is learning here. This is what that means.
What this site is
- It is free, and there is no account to create. Nobody signs up, nobody is tracked, and there is no advertising.
- People wrote and checked every lesson. Nothing on the site is generated by an AI, and no AI talks to your child here.
- Progress is saved only in the browser on the device your child uses. It is never sent to us.
- Contact with us happens only if your child, or you, chooses to write through the contact page.
- The material comes from programmes run in Albania since 2019 by alphaPlan Center, the non-profit behind Code for Albania.

Five habits worth keeping at home
These are the same lines your teenager reads in the cybersecurity course. They work for the whole family.
- 1Turn on MFA wherever it is offered, starting with your email.
- 2Switch on auto-update on your phone, computer, apps, browser and home router.
- 3Every so often restore a file or two from your backup and confirm they open.
- 4Before acting on a sensitive request made over video or phone, hang up and call back on a number you already have.
- 5Pick a family safe word today and make sure everyone who might be called knows it.
One thing to talk about at dinner
Every one of these scams needs you to accept a claim of identity without checking and to act fast, so one habit defeats them all.
