About Us

The new Health literacy and AI lesson and On the Fence game are a collaboration with UNSW School of Computer Science and Engineering, Sydney Health Literacy Lab from University of Sydney, and the Digital Lies & Cyber Literacy Foundation.

This initiative was supported as part of the NHMRC Synergy grant 'NextGen: AI Health Literacy' and was made possible with support from Google.org as part of the GenAI Accelerator program.
