Greetings ITGS Students! ====The ITGS Summer Assignment covers Topic 3.11: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Expert Systems, which is intended for HL topic extension but will be undertaken by all ITGS students due to the fact that we do not have HL extended time in Group 3 at AISD. I expect that you have all by now shared the **Summer Assignment File Folder** with each other in addition to the //reading packet// on **Artificial Intelligence/Robotics chapter 15** from the textbook, //“Tomorrow’s Technology and You.”//====

In the **Summer Assignment File Folder** you have a(n):

 * ====.html document containing the link to the summer assignment wiki====
 * ====“Media” folder containing short audio/video clips and the film, “Transcendent Man”====
 * ====“PowerPoint” folder containing the TTY Chapter 15 PowerPoint====
