The overall need is to equip children (ages 6 – 13) with the resilience and knowledge they need to combat misinformation. The intended impact is to co-design, promote, and nationally disseminate a set of innovative online play-based digital activities for children around combating misinformation in libraries. We will develop online intergenerational co-design teams led by librarians and teens around misinformation. The organizations are The Seattle Public Library (SPL), San Diego Public Library (SDPL), and WA and CO state rural libraries.
