Challenge time 
In a group of 2 you will come up with a device that should only be available in 20 years. But now you are going to create a fake news article about this item or device and it has suddenly been created in 2022. 

Slide 22 - Tekstslide

How should I start?
1. Think of a device or object.
2. Think about the specifics for this product. (For example: how is it made, what materials does it need, where did we find it, which country created it?) 
3. Let your imagination run wild, the object cannot be weird enough!
4. Write a believable fake news article (come up with a scientist, create a fake author/source, focus it on specific group of people).
