New Lesson: My CS Hero + AI

CSTA showcases various heroes on this CSEdWeek site from different industries and communities. Students will research CS heroes who have made an impact on computing and the positive, negative, and neutral influences on artificial intelligence. In this activity (student-guided for grades 6-12 and teacher-facilitated for grades 2--5), students will be able to plan poster content, design posters, and share their posters with others.
