What is Alice?
• Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story.

Why use Alice?
• In Alice's interactive interface, students drag and drop graphic tiles to create a program, where the instructions correspond to standard statements in a production oriented programming language, such as Java, C++, and C#.
• Alice allows students to immediately see how their animation programs run, enabling them to easily understand the relationship between the programming statements and the behaviour of objects in their animation.
• By manipulating the objects in their virtual world, students gain experience with all the programming constructs typically taught in an introductory programming course.
