@fredsbend, I don't see here any fake news, she did build it and her family is actually using it, she did get those rewards and she is in a special program of the Mexican gov. for gifted children. The only "fake" here is a choice of a single word by the writer or editor which could be just explained as an embellishment to a "feel good" news story. This is just a non-issue, and I simply don't see what the fuss is all about.

This really should be (if at all) at English.SE asking if "invention" is an appropriate word in this case, not try to claim that the articles claim that she invented something patentable.

@SIMEL Maybe fake is too harsh a word, but it's the media's fault for losing my confidence in them. I'm salty about it now, I guess.
