Expo

The Quest for the Truth is an interactive exhibit and learning resource about algorithms and fake news that is designed for young citizens. It probes how social media can be a major influencer in our democratic processes. The project is a collaboration between Tenk.no and Bergen Public Library (BOB). Tenk.no is the school branch of Faktisk.no, a Norwegian fact-checking organization that focuses on verifying news, claims, and public statements to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Are you ready for the quest?  Come and test your skills!
