Greetings educators!
Want to teach your students to code their own Alexa skills in the context of a High School life science lesson?
Want a fun project to do with your students for the end of this year?
We are looking for 50 High School teachers to beta test our

The
National Science Teaching Association’s
Alexa for Astronauts: Using AI to Monitor Health lesson set is a five-day, life science instructional sequence designed to expose high school students to ideas about artificial intelligence (AI) and computer programming using Amazon Alexa and MIT App Inventor, while applying previously-built life science ideas to begin to address the problem of monitoring astronauts’ physical health during deep-space exploration
. (Best for high school biology students, grades 9-12, students with limited or no programming experience)
