alice-teacher CMU Qatar Code in Alice Summer Event

[Wendy Fennell]

I would be interested in learning more about this.  I have taught Alice 2.5
as an introductory course at my high school and also used it in summer
camps. I have been part of your training professional development also. I
am familiar with Alice 3 but have not taught with that version before.

I currently use the CS1 Academy and am a certified trainer and educator and
was part of their pilot program for CS1 and CS2.

Let me know what I need to do next.
