I built a small web based activity to help kids (7–10 years old) develop a basic sense of “digital immunity” the skill of recognizing when a headline is neutral versus when it’s written to manipulate attention. Kids get a short description of an event, then choose which headline most accurately reflects what happened. After each choice parents can talk with them about why some headlines feel more dramatic or sensational.

My goal was to make the first step of media-literacy training lightweight, practical, and something parents can actually do with kids without needing prep or prior expertise. I’d appreciate any feedback on:
- does it flow nicely
- is stated goal clear and achieved
- content types
- UI/UX or accessibility issues you notice
Thanks for taking a look.
