Program Overview
"Ray's Blog" is a revolutionary educational program that teaches media literacy through a mystery-solving game format. Participants begin their adventure in an anime-style story world by receiving a challenge letter from a mysterious person named "Ray." They progress through the story by using real internet search techniques and information verification skills to discern the truth.
In our modern society overflowing with information, we aim to create a world where everyone can obtain and judge reliable information independently by repeatedly practicing three steps: "doubt, investigate, and judge."
