CyberEthics: Cyber Warfare
In this lesson, students will explore examples of countries engaging in cyber warfare and engage in activities to understand the role the military plays in protecting the United States from cyberattacks.
CyberEthics: Ethics
In this lesson, students will first see what it means to give “passive” consent when using certain websites or applications, exploring how laws, acts, and amendments have developed over time as technology and society's values have changed.
CyberEthics: Hacking
In this lesson, students will explore how hackers exploit network vulnerabilities to gain information and access to various systems that provide critical infrastructure for the country, by looking at past events, or case studies.
CyberEthics: Networking
In this lesson, students will begin by investigating the development of the internet. Students will describe the various types of networks and how networks are used to communicate information.
Introduction to Machine Learning using Image Classification
An invaluable exercise for beginner programming students is to teach them new ways to think. This lesson was written with the intention of introducing students to machine learning using image classification. Complexity has long been a barrier to exposing students to artificial intelligence.
