Alice...


This week we are learning how to program using Alice software.

Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience. You can read more about Alice and download the free software at: http://www.alice.org/

One of our projects for this week is to create a three minute animation set to music. The software is extremely easy to use, friendly and fun. In addition, Calvin, our grad assistant/teacher for the week, is an outstanding facilitator and teacher.
