In this session you will use free software from CMU called Alice to allow you to make 3D movies. Participants will use LEGO NXT kits to create spin art, kick a ball, or follow a black line. You will learn the basics of object-oriented programming: classes, objects, and methods (behaviors). You will also learn some basic computing concepts: repetition (loops), conditionals, and variables.
