As participants in the Partners for Innovation in Information Technology (PIIT) National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, I was privileged to work with 15 high school students during a week-long Alice workshop. Alice is free software provided by Carnegie Mellon [5] and provides a visual programming environment to help introduce beginning programming concepts in a fun and exciting way. This paper is an experiential paper denoting efforts in the organization and delivery of the Alice workshop. Organizational efforts in preparing for the workshop, experiences in the delivery of the workshop, the effectiveness of the workshop and suggestions for delivering an Alice workshop will be shown.
