Lesson 17: Creating companions

Grades K - 2 Computer Science

This lesson continues the discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) by looking at a potential world of human and pet robot companions. First, it will get students excited about a world of AI by looking at AI friends from pop culture. Then students will take a step back and look at real-world AI, like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. They’ll learn how those devices learn through interaction with voice through a microphone along with access to data.
