In the age of mis- and disinformation, kids need to be aware of what they’re consuming online. Congrats to @Alterea_Inc on winning @AspenPolicyHub's #InfoDisorderPrizeCompetition for "Agents of Influence": a spy game that teaches students how to sort fact from fiction!

Congratulations to @alterea_inc on winning our $75k #InfoDisorderPrizeCompetition! We can’t wait to see how you continue to develop “Agents of Influence,” a game educating students about mis- and disinformation. Check out the project here: https://t.co/nEFnKX11BK
