In this course, students were introduced to coding using Alice. They learned fundamental coding skills by creating their own game and story.
Parent activity suggestions:
- Have a look with your child at some of the videos at https://lookingglass.wustl.edu/ Explain that these are made with Alice 3.1. Discuss with your child what 3D means? What is your favorite video and why?
- Students can continue to work on their projects at home or build new ones by downloading Alice 3.1 at http://www.alice.org/index.php
