Calypso Programming and Speech Recognition

The class introduces students to speech recognition and its applications, focusing on how voice assistants like Siri and Alexa work. The session then transitions to programming with Calypso, teaching students how to use the 'hear' and 'say' functions. Students engage in a coding challenge to simulate a traffic intersection using voice commands to control virtual cubes. The class concludes with a Q&A session.
