Clickbait Contest Winners!

We all know what clickbait is--it promises amazing information with a tantalizing headline, but if you click, be prepared to be completely underwhelmed (or possibly attacked by a computer virus--don't click actual clickbait!

In this new contest, students were challenged to write a compelling “clickbait” title or question, with or without an image, and add the less-than-thrilling “answer” that unfortunate people who clicked on the clickbait would read/see/encounter! Winners chosen by faculty vote.
