Alice is an innovative block-based programming environment that makes it easy to create animations, build interactive narratives, or program simple games in 3D. Unlike many of the puzzle-based coding applications Alice motivates learning through creative exploration. Alice is designed to teach logical and computational thinking skills, fundamental principles of programming and to be a first exposure to object-oriented programming. The Alice Project provides supplemental tools and materials for teaching using Alice across a spectrum of ages and subject matter with proven benefits in engaging and retaining diverse and underserved groups in computer science education.

• • Abstract C++ is the programming language of choice for developers of high-performance applications. This often includes applications that are required to display 3D graphics to a user. Bebe Dresses on this page. 3D graphics are common in medical applications, design applications, and video games.
