1 Creating Animations with Alice for Projects in all Disciplines Susan H. Rodger Duke University NC CTE Summer Conference July 16, 2014 Supported by the National Science Foundation Collaborative Grant NSF , CRA distributed mentor awards, and Faculty Awards from International Business Machines. Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work Problems with Computer Science in Grades Computer Science is not in many schools Few high schools teach AP computer science Fewer middle schools teach computing Not even required at the college level 2. Students don t know what it is Not keyboarding, PowerPoint, spreadsheets 3. Where are the women and minorities? Number of underrepresented groups in computer science is low Why Schools Should Teach Computer Science (CS) (from NCWIT.org) Computer Science gives students vital 21 st century skills C.S. underlies most innovation today C.S. means rewarding careers Predicted shortage of technical jobs in the future Wide range of options in CS (health, environment, finance, arts, security ) C.S. is more than just technology CS teaches design, logical thinking and problem solving
2 Where does Computer Science fit in middle and high schools? Technology Science Mathematics Language Arts History Foreign Language Music Art Efforts to get Computer Science into K 12 10,000 teachers NSF Computing for Everyone (CE21) New AP Principles course Computer Science Teachers Association csta.acm.org CSTA K 12 Computer Science Standards Outlines topics for each grade level Adventures in Alice Programming Project supported by NSF ITEST and IBM Why Alice? Lots of other great tools for teaching programming Alice is easy to use, drag and drop, objects already exist Attractive to both girls and boys Success Alice attracts diverse group At Duke CompSci 4 Spring preregister, 30 enroll (12 female + 3 African Amer.) CompSci 4 Fall preregister, 31 enroll (17 female 1 African Amer.) CompSci 4 Fall sections 64 students, 33 female, 7 African Amer. CompSci 4 Fall sections 84 students > 50% female CompSci 4 Fall sections 100 students > 50% female Same for Spring 2009, Fall 2009 Advertised in school paper picture of ice skater Web site of animations
3 Success Alice Excites 4 th 6 th Grade Girls Duke Femmes Event, April girls 4 groups of 15 Taught them Alice for an hour Handout to take home Event again in 2008,2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 Where could Alice help in decisions? Students in middle school are starting to form decisions on careers They have exposure to Teachers, Doctors, Astronauts, etc. They learn about Biology, Physics, Chemistry BUT DON T KNOW WHAT COMPUTER SCIENCE IS K 12 Teachers can help expose students to CS Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work Bring on Alice Virtual Worlds! Alice is Hands on! Interactive! Visual! Less Error prone Exciting Results right away! Alice has the potential to excite kids about computer science in the same way that experiments excite kids about chemistry, physics and biology!
4 Alice Programming Language Create interactive stories or games Learn programming in an easy way, dragand drop your code Problem solving with visual feedback Logical thinking, Computational thinking Along the way, learn computer science concepts: Loops, classes, methods, functions, arrays Alice Developed by Randy Pausch Carnegie Mellon University Virtual Reality Researcher Wrote the Last Lecture Died of Pancreatic Cancer in 2008 The Alice Team Alice is free! More on Alice Programming Language Has libraries of 3D objects Keeps Track of objects you select
5 Objects Have Multiple Parts that are moveable Objects Object Position Are positioned in 3D space Have six degrees of freedom Alice Code is Easy to Learn Select Code, Drag and Drop code in program Play Alice Animation Chicken rises, cow turns head and talks
6 Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work Alice Demo: Kitty Story children s book on handicapped child
7 Science Population Change Science Population Change (end) Science Example How a volcano is formed
8 Biology Punnett Squares Foreign Language simple Cooking Spanish More detailed Cooking Spanish setting the table
9 Keyboarding Focus on math Math Example Plotting Numbers Math Example Rounding Numbers Math Example Fractions
10 Math Example Order of Operations Math Stories to Attract Girls Danica McKellar Math Story on Fractions Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work
11 Adventures in Alice Programming 2 week Teacher workshops Over 200 teachers, middle school, high school, some elementary First week Teach Alice, Practice Second week Develop Lesson Plans One week follow up workshop the following summer Summers , funding for lodging Main Sites: Duke University, Durham, NC Charleston/Columbia, SC San Jose, CA (starting 2014) Integrating Computing into all Disciplines Using Alice in Middle/High Schools Teachers attending are from all disciplines: Language Arts Mathematics Science History Foreign Language Music, Art Media, Technology Business Teachers Examples in lecture Make interactive quizzes Make worlds on concepts for students to view Students Projects (in place of a poster, a model) To take or build quizzes To view and answer questions about a world Older students can do more with Alice.
12 Curriculum Materials Over 90 tutorials available for free Beginner, advanced, challenges, projects Paper handouts and video Getting Started Tutorials One hour tutorial Covers placing objects, setting camera views, basic commands, writing methods and events 3 versions of it pick story your students will like Getting started tutorial One Hour 3 4 Part getting started tutorials One long story in three or four parts (about 3 hours) 4 stories to pick from
13 Getting Started Tutorial 3 part Example: Getting Started Tutorial teaches: Placing objects Moving objects Setting up Camera tripods and moving between views Using built in methods and writing your own Gluing objects together Adding sound, 2D pictures to enhance world Topical Tutorials CS Topics Who is taller? Making decisions conditional Making a fancier chicken Inheritance How to get all ninjas to kick at the same time List How to visit all your friends Making methods flexible parameter Animation Tutorials Camera Lighting Adding images and sound Invisible objects Changing scenes Putting real people in Alice
14 Sample tutorial: Scene Change New Tutorial Camera views following a person Sample Project Tutorials Tutorial for Project: Book Report Discipline Specific Sample games
15 Tutorial for Simple Game Control boat, earn points Tutorial for Adventure Game Find objects in order Challenges A world that is mostly built Has missing pieces (challenges) Harry Potter Challenge Mix of programming and math challenges
16 Harry Potter Math/computing Level 1 Charms before Harry Potter Math/Computing Level 1 Charms after Other Example Challenges Boat Calculator Enhanced Calculator!
17 Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work Versions of Alice Alice 2.4 WE WILL USE THIS VERSION Good for Middle School/High School introduction to programming Supported, will be around for awhile, very stable Alice 3 Good for full High School programming course to lead into a Java course Released two summer, still improving it StoryTelling Alice Caitlin Kelleher Written as prototype, not supported PhD Thesis under Pausch Now developing Looking Glass Let s build an Alice World Fun with Alice
18 Outline Motivation for Integrating Computer Science into K 12 Introduction to Alice Discipline Specific Projects Getting Started Curriculum Materials Demo Build an Alice World Conclusion and Future Work What a middle school kid can do with Alice from teacher Chari Distler What a 6 th grader can do with Alice teacher Chari Distler No Superheros in Alice
19 Conclusions and Future Work Teachers using Alice in lots of disciplines 1 2 classes in Alice to get students started Students can explore further on their own Teachers excited see different ways to use it Projects best for integrating into a course More extensive use of Alice Media/Business Technology pairing up with teachers in other disciplines Introductory computing class Workshops through 2015, Alice Symposium 2013 Other formats for tutorials?
