This playground was created to teach budding creators how to code and design technology with meaningful social impact by creating a chatbot that refers people in mental health crises to support resources. Using creative problem solving, students are taught how to use technologies like Machine Learning to address problems and affect change for their communities.
In this playground, a coder is taken through a narrative where they become part of the Appvengers -- a secret team of elite technical superheroes determined to use their powers to improve the world with technology. This superhero, or coder, must now complete a training mission where they are tasked with creating a technological solution to help those in mental health crises. (Demo: https://youtu.be/g4D2_SWpsJQ)
