Finding good information is a skill and so is knowing when something is trying to mislead you. Over four days, students learn the core moves of real research: crafting searches that actually surface what you need, understanding the difference between a .gov, .edu, and .com, and recognizing the warning signs of a misleading headline or a website designed to look trustworthy without being so. They play a “Real or Fake?” card game using actual viral claims, practice lateral reading, the technique professional fact-checkers use, and explore library databases that go well beyond a regular Google search. The week ends with students investigating something they’re genuinely curious about and sharing one surprising thing they found. No formal presentation, just conversation. This workshop gives kids the critical thinking skills that make all the technology around them more meaningful.
