Alice Teaches Kids To Program

Computer scientists have found a way to make computer programming visual. Instead of using numbers, letters, and punctuation like other programming languages, Alice uses three dimensional figures placed in a storyline. Users select from a gallery of characters and backgrounds, then select the character's movements through a pulldown menu.
