Some of you may know that about a program called Alice. It is a 3D enviroment for creating virtual worlds and is used to teach programming to kids from middle school to college freshman. I’ve been using it with the Tippecanoe County 4H Computer project I help out with and Jessica used it in her middle school classroom at Caston.
The last year or so we have been working with some Purdue professors who want to use Alice at workshops for teachers and workshops. The $1.19 million grant was recently awarded to fund this project. Should be a fun summer to see how it all works out.
