Objects first using Alice to introduce object constructs in CS1

Java has become the programming language of choice for the first computer programming course in most of the computer science programs in the country. However, Java is a true objected-oriented language and requires instructors to introduce object-...
Piloting Alice in the Upper School
ALICE '13: Proceedings of Alice Symposium on Alice Symposium

This paper describes a few challenges and many rewards of piloting the teaching of the programming language, Alice, in our Upper School consisting of middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12). We teach Alice as a stand-alone course at ...
Alice, middle schoolers & the imaginary worlds camps

Research indicates that (i) many women who take CS1 feel less experienced than (and therefore at a disadvantage to) their male counterparts at computer programming, and that (ii) by the time they reach high school, many young women view computing as "...
