Unlike previous no-typing programming systems, such as LogoBlocks and Stagecast, Alice allows students to gain experience with a wide variety of programming structures including looping, conditional statements, lists, and recursion. Using programming concepts and structures, students build 3D virtual worlds that are often compelling. In the Alice project, they acknowledge that capturing someone's attention is a pre-requisite to teaching them. Even a student's first programs can contain storytelling and game aspects, making the process of writing a program much more compelling, especially for female students.
