A brief introduciton to programming languages and why they are the way they are. The platforms used in the Game Design program Some of these platforms serve as a simple introduction to computer game design for younger students while other platforms offer more complex features and are better suited for more advanced students. Storytelling Alice is a programming environment designed to motivate a broad spectrum of middle school students (particularly girls) to learn to program computers through creating short 3D animated movies. To help educators more easily track and teach these skills, the group created curriculum and tools to make the video game design program Microsoft Kodu – a computer language that lets children create and program their own games — more accessible in K-12 classrooms. The Game Design program makes use of several game creation platforms so their programming or coding capabilities does not limit students in computer game creation. Once you know how a machine is built, you can control and understand things like having enough memory to run the programs, why this file freezes my computer when loading, and so on. Fundamentals of Very likely, an introduction to coding using something like pseudo-languages, flux diagrams, or NetLogo, will be given. How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing. These skills will be gained by creating programs for a robot. You will also be introduced into popular programming techniques, and you will gain an insight into areas such as robotics and artificial intelligence. I didn't really learn to understand abstract-as-a-verb until I got it from the computer programming folks, via the How to Design Programs book (free at http://htdp.org if you're interested). Shapiro says he expects more students to build off of each other's games and to introduce computer programming to younger students.
