alice-teacher Alice 2 & Robotics

[J. Esz]

Are you planning to program the robot in Alice?? Alice would be a great introductory course in programming and logic. Most robotics kits use their own software. For example if you are using the LEGO NXT or EV3 they come with a language that is graphically based that you can use with the robot. You can also program them in JAVA or C, if you want to go a little off course. I've taught Alice for a number of years, but have also been involved in robotics for over 10 years at a middle school/high school level. If you have any questions I would be more than willing to give you whatever help I can. Jolene EszMcNicholas High School

I will be teaching Alice 2 for the first time at our school in the Fall. Our principal would like our students to build a robot and perhaps enter a Robotics competition. In your opinion, do you think Alice 2 would lead up to that as a half year course?Would students gain enough knowledge from Alice 2 to create a robot, or is Alice 3, or another programming course necessary for that? Thank you!
