What is an autonomous car, and how does it work?
An autonomous car is a self-driving car that uses sensors and computers to drive without a human driver.
200
What is this machine and how can it be used?
A 3D printer makes real objects by building them layer by layer from plastic or other materials. It can be used to make toys, tools, or even parts for machines.
200
What is cybersecurity and why is it important?
Cybersecurity means protecting computers and information from hackers and viruses. It is important to keep our data safe and private.
200
Name one way that AI is used in healthcare.
reading X-rays and scans
virtual health assistants
redicting illness
helping with surgery (robots with AI)
managing hospital systems
AI powered wearable technology
200
What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?
Renewable can be used again; non-renewable will run out (like coal, oil).
200
What is a "smart city"?
A city that uses technology to improve life for people (transport, energy, safety, etc.)
300
What is Bluetooth technology, and how is it commonly used in everyday devices?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that connects devices over short distances. It is used to connect headphones, speakers, and smartwatches to phones or computers.
300
What are three ways to maintain cybersecurity?
use strong passwords
don’t click on unknown links
install antivirus software
do not share your full name, adress, or personal information online
do not respond to messages from people you do not know
always log out of your accounts when using a device that is not yours

Describe what a satellite is and one way it is used in everyday life.
An object in space that sends signals – used for internet, GPS, weather
400
Explain how the invention of the internet has changed communication and education worldwide.
The internet allows people to communicate instantly through email, video calls, and social media. In education, it gives students access to online courses, research materials, and the ability to learn from anywhere.
400
What types of data can wearable devices collect, and why is it important to protect this data?
Wearable devices can collect data like location, health information, and activity levels. It’s important to protect this data because it is personal and could be misused if stolen.

What is the difference between virtual reality and augmented reality?
VR is fully digital; AR adds digital things to the real world.
400
What is one benefit and one challenge of using renewable energy in cities?
EXAMPLE
Benefit: less pollution
Challenge: cost, space, or weather dependence.
400
What are two benefits and two drawbacks of using autonomous vehicles in cities.
Benefits: fewer accidents, fewer traffic jams, accesibility for the elderly or disables, less pollution (if electric), more free time for drivers
Drawbacks: expensive technology, job losses (taxi drivers, truck drivers, etc.), technology problems, cybersecurity risks
500
Name 3 ways smartphones can have a positive affect on young people and three ways they can have a negative impact.
EXAMPLE
Positive: Help with learning, keep in touch with friends and family, provide access to useful apps and information.

Phishing is when someone tries to trick you into giving personal information by pretending to be a trusted source. You can avoid it by not clicking on suspicious links and verifying the sender.
500
Describe one way virtual reality can help in education and one way it can help in healthcare. Explain why it is useful in both.
EXAMPLE
VR can help medical students practice surgery without risk, which is useful because they learn skills safely before working with real patients.
Virtual reality can help in education by allowing students to take virtual field trips to places like museums or historical sites.
This is useful because students can explore and learn about these places without leaving the classroom, making learning more fun and interesting.
