Youth Verification Challenge - Google News Initiative


Think you can spot fake info? Googel has got a challenge for you.
Youth Verification Challenge! 
Here, you’ll hone your investigative skills, learn from experts and forge alliances in a competitive battle for facts.

Join us on this journey, as we traverse the world of fact-checking in four chapters from April to September, all while earning yourself some sweet Google swag.

Eligibility
Anyone aged 15-24 with a thirst for knowledge. You must have a Google account to participate

“Chapter 1: Level Up” is now open for registration!

Chapter 1: Level Up
Build your skills and complete mini-quizzes during our live broadcasts, where you will establish the foundational knowledge every master detective should have.

When?
Every Monday-Thursday, 8.30PM SGT (April 18 - 28, 2022)

How?
A 20-minute tutorial will be streamed on Gather to introduce fact-checking tools and how to use them. Immediately after, you’ll be presented with a live quiz that you’ll have to solve in under 3 or 5 minutes, depending on the quiz. You will use Quizizz to enter your answers. Once the timer ends, scores will be tallied and published on our leaderboard. The solution will be presented immediately after the quiz ends. 

If you complete 6 out of 8 live quizzes, you’ll be eligible to receive some Google giveaways. 

Tip:

Log on using either a laptop or two devices as you will need to have two tabs (Gather and a web browser) open.

Register with friends. Doing it together with friends is always more fun! We will also be moving from individual-based challenges to team-based ones in “Chapter 3: A Detective’s Test”. Details for upcoming chapters will be unveiled soon!
