Introductory Computer Science with Robots
Starting in the fall of 2005 our department began a large-scale effort to incorporate hands-on robotics in many of our courses, including our introductory computer science sequence. This followed the establishment of a departmental robotics laboratory and the purchase of a number of different robots. Our efforts include testing a variety of projects and surveying students about their satisfacti...
متن کاملA Grounded Theory Analysis of Introductory Computer Science Pedagogy
Planning is a critical, early step on the path to successful program writing and a skill that is often lacking in novice programmers. As practitioners we are continually searching for or creating interventions to help our students, particularly those who struggle in the early stages of their computer science education. In this paper we report on our ongoing research of novice programming skills...
متن کاملComputer Animation in Mathematics, science, and Art
At the conference whose proceedings make up this volume, my presentation consisted of a collection of excerpts from computer animated films. Since I showed only my own films, a description of my personal experiences in computer animation seems appropriate for this paper, with indications of the fi1ms shown at the conference, and where they can be obtained. I started my career as a topologist an...
متن کاملRestructuring the Introductory Computer Science Course with Topics from AI
The traditional CS1 syllabus focuses almost entirely on elementary programming concepts and leaves little time to explore the broad discipline of computer science, including the many exciting developments in artificial intelligence. Hence, some students who take the CS1 course develop the misconception that computer science involves little more than programming, and they decide not to study it ...
متن کاملGraphical User Interface Programming in Introductory Computer Science
Modern computing systems exploit graphical user interfaces for interaction with users. As a result, introductory computer science courses must begin to teach the principles underlying such interfaces. This paper presents an approach to graphical user interface implementation that is simple enough for beginning students to understand, yet rich enough to demonstrate many important concepts and tr...
