Description


fragFINN.de aims to establish a secure place on the internet that allows children aged 6 to 12 years to surf the web without any risk of them finding harmful content. Building up a whitelist (about 500 websites specifically for children and more than 4,000 child-appropriate/harmless websites) and a secure search engine for children, fragFINN promotes the positive diversity of the internet for children. In this respect, children can pursue their interests over the full length and breadth of the internet and learn how to use the medium responsibly and on their own.

This search engine addresses children with cute characters – Finn and Lotte: children love to ask Finn questions and it's possible to search for websites and pictures. The website is designed for children in an inclusive and accessible way.
