The focus is on understanding what AI is, how the line between AI and people is blurring, the history of AI leading to present-day applications at work, school and home, then I conclude with the ethical considerations that AI presents and what we can do to encourage students to pursue a path in a computer science education. It's fun and engaging with students and teachers.

This is an Critical Thinking Encryption lesson geared for Middle School Students. It could easily be fitted to a high school class too. The best part is it is scalable!!! You can teach it to 5 kids or 50 kids and have it vary in difficulty. Typically I have the class surrender all cell phones - this freaks my Jr. High Students right out. Then as every student is watching, I talk about encryption, what it means, why it is important, how it relates to cybersecurity, I place all the cell phones into my large lockable box and close no less than 6 locks around the box. In order to get back into the box, the students must work together to decrypt distributed riddles. Once the riddles are decrypted them must solve the riddles. The answers to the riddles are the codes or words that unlock each lock.(almost always they are coordinating cybersecurity vocabulary words) After each group unlocks their locks, they can retrieve their cell phone.
