Abstract

Research on the effectiveness of using a block programming language with a three-dimensional environment and game design as the basis for curriculum to teach children concepts in Computer Science. We observed a lower barrier to entry and faster learning in seventh to ninth graders exposed to the new curriculum using StarLogo TNG.
