Emerging Technologies

After finishing some intensive database work, we are now ready for some emerging technologies.  Students will be seeing trends, and finding application of emerging technologies in today's world.  Students will start off learning ins and outs of Google Maps.  After Google Maps, we will be working with some coding.  Students will get an introduction to code, block-based coding, and some Java code.  Students will do some activities, and game creation, and will finish up with an interactive design for a web page.  We will end the week by looking at some other technologies such as text-to-speech synthesis, Google Glass, and Microsoft HoloLens.

Students will turn in a research paper reflecting on emerging technologies, and how they see them evolving the next 5-10 years.
