Spring 2022 Programming 1 Alice 3 VR projects CLICK
I am proud to sample some video of me demonstrating our Programming 1 student projects. These kids had little or no programming experience. The course was one semester and they built these cool projects. Teaching Computer Science is valuable for all people, not just programmers. We learn a lot besides just computer hacking skills.
