Girls Who Code: Can I Help You? (Chatbot with Python)

In this activity, you will be exploring basic computer science concepts in Python while learning how to help your community by creating a chatbot, or an automated help system!

You have probably interacted with a chatbot before, maybe without even realizing it. Some common chatbots include: Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, Lyft’s help-bot, and most recently the World Health Organization has built one for COVID-19 facts.

Before you start designing and coding your chatbot, check out our featured Women in Tech Spotlight, Erica Kochi. As the Co-founder of UNICEF’s Innovation Unit, Erica built a chatbot to help provide care and assistance for people in Nigeria and Rwanda.
