How
do the key ingredients of social interaction
and
computer code combine to create a
successful programming learning environment?
The RAPUNSEL project team is researching
and building a software
environment called
"PEEPS"
to teach programming concepts to kids.
Someday, it will
be a multiuser game.
For now, we are tackling small interactive
modules.
We hope our approach will attract as many
girls to programming
as it will boys,
and this might help out with the shortage
of women
in computer-related fields.
Enjoy our growing site, and please play with our prototoypes!
