Overview

Cyber Literacy 2 provides high school students with a venture into some advanced cyber engineering topics. Building on information presented in Cyber Literacy, students continue to build more complex circuits and discuss autonomous devices and artificial intelligence. They also research and discuss the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution and debate current policy on privacy and rights to search and seizure.

The robotics platforms that are supported in the Cyber Literacy 2 course include the following Parallax devices: the BoeBot, ShieldBot with Arduino, and cyber:bot with micro:bit.
