> Carnegie Mellon will host an Alice 2.4 Institute for middle/high 
> school and college instructors. Alice,an innovative 3D programming 
> environment developed at Carnegie Mellon University, is designed as an 
> instructional tool for teaching and learning computational thinking 
> and introductory programming concepts. With Alice, students learn 
> fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating 
> animations, videos, and simple games.
>
> Alice 2.4 features a new set of 3D models from the Garfield® comics, 
> courtesy of Paws, Inc. This workshop will explore the Alice 2.4 
> programming environment as an effective and engaging tool to introduce 
> students in middle school through first-year college to fundamental 
> programming concepts and Computer Science. We will also explore how 
> Alice 2.4 can be used in multidisciplinary K-12 classroom settings.
>
> This workshop will be presented by nationally recognized curriculum 
> experts in Alice.
