About Merge Cyber Racers - UBG For School

We introduce the Merge Cyber Racers experience that is now available through the UBG For School platform, designed specifically for educational environments. Our program blends cutting‑edge cyber‑racing simulations with curriculum‑aligned challenges, allowing students to develop strategic thinking, collaborative skills, and technical proficiency in a virtual arena.

Why Choose Merge Cyber Racers

We have crafted a unique learning ecosystem that emphasizes engagement, safety, and measurable academic outcomes. The following points illustrate the core advantages of our solution:

• Immersive Gameplay that mirrors real‑world cyber‑security concepts while remaining age‑appropriate.
• Curriculum Integration that aligns with national standards for computer science and digital literacy.
• Collaborative Mechanics that encourage teamwork, communication, and peer feedback.
• Progress Tracking that provides teachers with detailed analytics on student performance.

Key Components of the Platform

We have organized the platform into several modular components that can be accessed through a single login interface. Each component is described below:

1. Racing Engine – A realistic simulation that models network traffic, latency, and resource allocation.
2. Challenge Builder – A tool that enables educators to design custom missions aligned with lesson objectives.
3. Analytics Dashboard – A comprehensive view of individual and group progress, including completion rates and skill mastery.
4. Resource Library – A repository of tutorials, articles, and reference materials for deeper exploration.

Implementation Guide for Educators

We recommend the following step‑by‑step approach to integrate Merge Cyber Racers into classroom activities:

• Assessment – Begin with a diagnostic quiz to gauge baseline knowledge.
• Orientation – Conduct a brief tutorial session using the platform’s onboarding module.
• Mission Design – Select or create challenges that correspond with current topics.
• Gameplay Session – Allocate dedicated time for students to engage in the racing environment.
• Reflection – Facilitate a debrief where learners discuss strategies and challenges.
• Assessment Review – Re‑evaluate performance using the analytics dashboard to measure growth.

Sample Mission: “Secure the Server”

In this mission, students must identify vulnerabilities in a simulated server, apply patches, and defend against simulated attacks. The mission incorporates the following learning outcomes:

• Understanding of common cyber‑threats such as malware, phishing, and DDoS.
• Application of cryptographic concepts to protect data.
• Development of problem‑solving tactics under time constraints.

Assessment Rubric

We provide a detailed rubric that teachers can use to evaluate student performance during missions:

1. Technical Accuracy – Correct identification and remediation of vulnerabilities.
2. Strategic Planning – Effective use of resources and foresight in attack prevention.
3. Collaboration – Clear communication and joint decision‑making within the team.
4. Reflection – Ability to articulate lessons learned and propose improvements.

Benefits Observed in Pilot Programs

We have conducted pilot implementations in several schools and documented measurable improvements in student engagement and knowledge retention. Key findings include:

• An average increase of 27 % in post‑program assessment scores related to cyber‑security concepts.
• Higher attendance rates during scheduled gaming sessions compared to traditional lecture periods.
• Enhanced peer interaction, with 84 % of participants reporting increased confidence in collaborative problem‑solving.

Future Developments

We are continuously refining the platform based on feedback from educators and students. Upcoming enhancements include:

• Integration of augmented reality elements to visualize network topologies.
• Expansion of the challenge library with seasonal themes and competitive leaderboards.
• Advanced analytics that predict learning trajectories and suggest personalized study paths.
