We started off today with your next programming assignment, making Space Invaders in Scratch. If you are creative, you can get extra credit on it, but start off by copying it from the web page here:
https://scratchprogrammingforkids.com/how-to-make-simple-space-invaders-scratch-game/


Learning through copying is a time-honored computer science tradition.


Second, we started talking about the next big topic in computer science, which is algorithmic bias. We talked about criminal risk assessment programs and how they (according to the article) discriminate against black people: https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing
