Virsona is a website that lets you create your own chatbot like Suzette and Spotchy (but more polite).  The chatbot can be based on a historical figure like Harriett Tubman, a fictional character like Harry Potter, or even yourself!  For this assignment you will be helping to teach an Island School chatbot to act like a real middle school student.  I already created a boy middle schooler named Kevin and a girl middle schooler named Janine .  Choose one and help teach it to pass the Turing Test (to sound real).
