Course Description: 

This year in Computer Science we will be learning a lot of information including how to design build and program your own robot that will compete in a final sumo/death match against other robots built by your classmates. We are in for an exiting year. We will explore robotics in many different ways. We will begin the year learning basic programing using Khan Academy. Please go ahead and sign up for an account if you have not yet. Sign in using your Google Class room Username and Password. After that we will be exploring Artificial Intelligence. We will discuss Dr. Turing and his test to determine the thinking ability of an A.I.. Together we will administer these test to Cortana, Siri, and Alexa to see what level each are presently at.
