Bao: It’s A Jungle Out There is a browser-based game for children with special educational needs. Kids learn how to make safe choices in online environments from Bao the panda. Responses to character questions about social media and cyber bullying prompt messages about good decisionmaking. A pilot at Stony Dean School produced feedback from students and teachers. Council leaders worked with French and Swedish researchers as well as Adeptly on the game's design.
