Computer Science (31)This project is developing laboratory modules for the two-semester introductory computer science courses using robotics. The goals are to increase student interest in and motivation to study computer science and to improve students' understanding of the fundamental concepts of computer science typically covered in the first-year course sequence. Emphasis is being placed on laboratory modules that are scalable, cost-effective, and adaptable.The first semester laboratories allow students to interact with the robots in a virtual world created within the Alice programming environment. The second semester laboratories have the students interacting with physical robots in a laboratory setting. Both classroom instruction and laboratory experiences involve significant collaboration among students. The project has an assessment component that examines the extent to which the project deliverables are meeting the stated goals.

计算机科学（31）这个项目正在开发实验室模块，为两个学期的介绍计算机科学课程使用机器人。 目标是提高学生学习计算机科学的兴趣和动力，并提高学生对第一年课程序列中通常涵盖的计算机科学基本概念的理解。 重点放在可扩展，成本效益高，适应性强的实验室模块上。第一学期的实验室允许学生在Alice编程环境中创建的虚拟世界中与机器人互动。 第二学期的实验室让学生在实验室环境中与物理机器人互动。 课堂教学和实验室体验都涉及学生之间的重要合作。 该项目有一个评估组成部分，审查项目交付成果在多大程度上符合既定目标。
