Description of Session Computer Science enrollment in colleges is diminishing. Few high schools are encouraging students to explore this exciting career field. Most believe it involves boring programming concepts. Alice, has changed all that. It allows creativity to soar while keeping the fundamentals of programming sound. Girls and minorities are especially under-represented in CS and Alice can bridge that gap. Come see how easy and fun programming with Alice can be. Alice is a FREE program download provided by Carneige Mellon University and many others.

PRIOR TO SESSION: Download Alice 2.2 from http://alice.org The download is not required, but if you want to follow along and test out Alice be sure to download Alice 2.2 from Alice.org before the session (351MB). No installation is required, just unpack the folder and go. There is both PC and MAC versions.

THANK YOU: To everyone that was brave enough to get up early and attend. I would enjoy hearing how you are using Alice at your school. Feel free to email me with any questions. There is even a chance I might know the answer!!
