The Issue:

Over the past year, hoaxes and unsubstantiated reports often have been perceived as fact. Fake news stories have been shared millions of times on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, where youth are most likely to get their news. The people who shared the fake news often did not realize it was fake.  

The Prompt:

Research the ways in which youth are accessing the news and why the proliferation of misinformation is such a big issue, and make a game that teaches peers how to identify and stop its spread.
