The ALICE Coding Environment
One of the technology standards of the Hoke County STEM Competition is coding in the ALICE coding environment. It is an object oriented, block based
programming environment that allows kids to build games and animations using
the system. In our competition,
competitors build animations to tell a specific story that is judged against
the other competition. It is a live,
elimination event. Here are some details about the ALICE environment:
- It is used by teachers at all levels from middle schools to universities.
- It has a broad scope of application within the educational environment.
- It was developed by Carnegie-Mellon University and is provided as freeware to introduce students to coding.
- There are two versions available, ALICE 2 and ALICE 3.
- CMU is very proactive in providing resources for education, practice, teachers, and students to enhance their ALICE experience.
Duke University has tutorials for learning to code in ALICE
2 & 3. Here are the links to the
YouTube videos:
