Why are we doing this?

Online misinformation is everywhere.

It is threatening our democracy. 

It's IMPOSSIBLE to solve big problems, when people can't even agree on facts.

The technology is new – MOST adults do NOT have these skills.

This is a community service action project.  

Let's make our world a better place.
