Check out the project readme for information on how to get started, and links to places where you can learn more and share ideas.

Aside from the repo, you can use Gitter and a Google doc to share feedback during the Sprint

This is such great and important work you're doing!!

I've done lessons related to getting students to think more critically about mass media information they consume. However, this has been more from the angle of getting them to think generally about the advertisement/profit model in media, yellow journalism, confirmation bias, etc. - and how this can drive media producers to have motives beyond putting out content rooted in truth.

I've never went into algorithms, though, which I think is really interesting. I'm not extremely knowledgable on how algorithms actually work myself, so if it'd be useful for you I'd be happy to go through a lesson you have on this and give you feedback on how it makes sense from a non expert perspective..
