Introduction to Programming and Animation with Alice
This course is an introductory programming course that combines programming
with animation, using the programming environment Alice. You will first

particular you will learn how to set up a scene, to tell a story using
storyboarding, to move the camera, and how to move and rotate objects. You
will learn programming concepts such as writing your own instructions,
repetition, making decisions, and grouping similar objects together. In
