This lesson includes students interacting with real chat bots on the internet, learning about how they work from an episode of RadioLab called "Talking with Machines", and then designing their very own chat bots in Scratch. Students in the 10th grade loved this project -- but I am sure it is accessible at any level.

 Do you think the content would be age appropriate for grades 6-7?
