Karel is a dog that only knows how to move, turn left, and place tennis balls in his world. You can give Karel these commands to instruct him to do certain things. We use Karel to show you what it means to program, and allow you to focus on problem-solving.
In this module, students will gain an understanding of the main concepts and vocabulary around AI.
Students will learn the fundamentals of machine learning, covering its lifecycle, supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and explore bias within learning models.
In this hands-on module, students will learn how to train AI models using Teachable Machine and will explore the use cases for AI in various industries.
Students will explore the ethical implications and risks of AI technology, including bias, hallucinations, security, disinformation, and legal challenges, ending in a project to create a public service announcement about AI.
Students dive into the history of cryptography systems, the motivation behind using encryption systems, and modern cryptography systems. This includes explaining the core concepts of Public Key Infrastructure and hash functions. Students will also explore the importance of digital certificates, and authentication methods.
Students learn the basics of programming by writing programs that interact with users through the keyboard.
Students teach their programs to make decisions based on the information it receives.
Students learn how to write more efficient code by using loops as shortcuts.
Students learn how their programs can be decomposed into smaller pieces that work together to solve a problem.
Students learn more sophisticated strategies for manipulating text in their programs.
Students learn how tuples and lists are formed and the various methods that can alter them.
