Game and Story Programming

Learn to program computers using Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu) and Alice (http://alice.org). Scratch makes it easy to create interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art, and share these creations on the web. Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web.

Python Programming

Learn to program using the popular Python language (http://www.python.org). Python is used for creating games, websites, and much more. Unlike Scratch and Alice which are primarily learning environments, Python is a real programming language used by professionals (Google, for example, has lots of Python programmers).
