Project
description | Cocoa is a program that allows children to create their own simulations and games, and to publish them on the World Wide Web. Children create characters and show them how to change and move. The characters can be made to do different things depending on what other objects are around them. |
Theoretical
background | This work applies the ideas of Programming by Demonstration and Visual Languages to children's programming. |
| Challenges | How can we effectively teach children to use Cocoa? |
| Partnership | We are looking for projects that could benefit from a technology that enables teachers and children to create their own simulations. |
