The International CyberFair is an award-winning global program where students design websites to share research on important community issues. Through this project, participants develop real-world skills in teamwork, technology, and problem-based learning while also connecting with students worldwide. At our school, the CyberFair Club takes part in this event each year to explore meaningful topics and spotlight local issues through research, action plans, and creative websites.
Why Media Literacy Matters
Have you ever been drawn in by a dramatic headline, believed “facts” online that later turned out to be false, or almost fallen for a scam? These moments show just how tricky today’s media world can be. That’s why our club chose media literacy as last year’s project. We believed it was an urgent issue for young learners. It’s more important than ever for people to know how to identify trustworthy media sources. To help spread awareness, our club created a website called Media Minds: Powering Digital Citizens. Inspired by LAPSEE, an organization that helps children think critically about online content, we aimed to empower students to recognize misinformation and respond thoughtfully. Our project earned a Platinum Award from Global SchoolNet, but the true reward was sparking conversations about digital responsibility in our community.

After the training from CyberFair Club, I’ve learned how to determine if the information is accurate and how to respond when you come across new information.(Ian 703)
Through this project, I realized media literacy helps people think critically and make better choices online. I’m glad we helped others learn its value.(Dorothy 7D)
