This podcast lesson introduces students to Artificial Intelligence by showing how Boolean Algebra (a system of symbolic logic) can be used to represent “rules” in a virtual world (a video game or simulation). Teams of 3-4 students will then build and present a virtual world by using Boolean Algebra to create a consistent set of “rules” based on propositions (statements that affirm or deny something) and implications (logical judgements based on evidence and prior observation). The 'virtual world' that I create in the lesson is one where equality is predicated on both opportunity and circumstance. Imagine that.
