alice-teacher Use in Elementary Schools?

[rakel2 at simnet.is]

Hi Marianne.

We have been teaching coding to kids from the age of six in Iceland (and now recently in the States).
We have been building up a methodology based on research studies in Psychology, Education and Technology to teach young people from the age of six and
one of our foundations is 3D programming environments (Alice included). We have also been teaching teachers and help schools out in implementing our methodology, train their teachers and give them access to a curriculum and material. 

I would be happy to discuss.

Efni: alice-teacher Use in Elementary Schools?

Has Alice been used in elementary schools?
I'm applying for an NSF grant, Discovery Research K-12,  that will serve K-12 grade students in two counties and 15 school districts.  We want to put FAB Labs in 7 high schools, Smart Labs in 10 elementary school for grades 2-6, and teach programming using Alice for all K-9 grade students.  I did not see any reference to anyone having done this yet.  Can you tell me if anyone has and where?
Thank you for all of your help!
My application is due December 6.  I would have contacted you sooner, but I thought I'd find the information on your website.
I think the program ROCKS and appreciate any help you can give me.
