Project Description: Students explore the future of computer science while learning about artificial intelligence (AI), online security issues and data visualization. Students design apps with AI and two factor authentication using code.org's App Lab.

EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES

Students learn that coding is fun, and use coding to design apps.

Teachers learn about computer science, computer programming, CA CS Standards, and the instructional strategies that support them. Teacher as lead learner!
