University of Washington (University of Washington, The Information School)

The University of Washington Information School, in collaboration with the Seattle Public Library, San Diego Public Library, and rural libraries in Washington and Colorado, will co-design a set of innovative online play-based digital activities for children around combating misinformation in libraries. Activities will include researching and writing a white paper on children and misinformation; co-designing activities between librarians, teen leaders, and children; developing digital play-based activities; creating a scalabale online co-design curriculum for librarians to create their own play-based misinformation activities; and building a hub for accessing all the project resources. Families and children, public librarians and educators, researchers, and designers will benefit from this project.
