Alice
is a computer program that makes creating a virtual world to tell a
story or play a game easy. Drag-and-drop graphics make programming a
snap for any age. Programming
with Alice allows the camper to focus on the content and creativity of
the story, which helps develop problem solving skills. The Alice program allows the camper to select from hundreds of objects - people, animals, furniture, and vehicles, to name just a few. During camp they will learn how to move objects or parts of objects -- people walk, planes fly and dragons flap their wings. The program also allows for interaction among the objects such as people can "talk" using text or sound, a plane can be controlled by the user, and a dragon can find the knight. Movies can be made once the project is complete. As part of the camp, each child will receive a certificate of completion, a CD containing the most current version of the Alice program, and numerous tutorial files to use at home to create more virtual worlds. Alice is a free program that works on both Apple and Windows computers. It was initially developed by the late Randy Pausch of "The Last Lecture" fame. This product includes software developed by Carnegie Mellon University. The camp is geared for children ages 9 - 14. |
