The signature activity

Wake Word: pupils play a voice assistant listening for its name, discover what it hears along the way, and decide what should stay private.

Learning intentions

• I can explain how a voice assistant listens for its wake word.
• I can describe what happens to what it hears after it wakes up.
• I can decide what should stay private, for me and for other people.
