Students explore deepfakes and create a fake voices app using the MIT App Inventor. Learners also explore how deepfakes can pose a threat to online safety and privacy, and how they can have an impact on not only our daily lives but also other areas like commerce, history, crime, and pop culture.

Students learn how computers can process and categorize images. They program and train a computer to recognize certain images and teach it to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Students learn about natural language processing (NLP) and how it works. They also learn to apply the rules of NLP to a text, how computers identify tag words, and how voice-generated technology impacts many aspects of daily life. 

Students explore aspects of AI and develop their own simple AI programs. Then, they connect their newfound knowledge to real-world examples.
