| <h1>The Teaching Kids Mission:</h1> | ||
| <p>Encouraging kids to create computer applications by providing support and curricula</p> | ||
| <h2>What's this about?</h2> | ||
| <p>There are a few reasons why it is important to teach kids how to develop computer applications:</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li><strong>A Different Way to Think</strong> kids should learn computer programming for the same reasons they should learn a foreign language or the scientific process. Programming requires a different sort of thinking and problem solving than other disciplines. It is good brain exercise.</li> | ||
| <li><strong>Understanding Our World</strong> Just as kids who learn to write fiction gain a greater understand of reading a novel, so do kids who learn to program gain a greater understanding of the software tool they will use in their lives. We teach kids to have a basic understanding of the world around them, from electricity to physics to the periodic table. This knowledge helps them understand the world they live in, regardless of whether it is directly applicable in their careers.</li> | ||
| <li><strong>Inspire (some of) Them to Become Software Engineers</strong> Internationally there is a gender imbalance amongst software engineers. In the US, that imbalance extends to race and class. it is critical that the people who create the tools that humans use for problem solving are representative of the diverse people on the planet. Besides it is no fun working in a homogeneous crowd or, even worse, feeling like a token "other." For those kids that have a hankering to do this kind of work, they need to know that it is an option for them.</li> | ||

| <h1>Languages and Learning Environments</h1> | ||
| <p class='left'>The following environments and languages have been suggested as good for teaching kids</p> | ||
| <h3>Ruby</h3> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>Shoes (Desktop apps for Mac, Win, Linux. Easy to create graphics and get started quickly.)</li> | ||
| <li>Sinatra (for easy web apps)</li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <a href="http://tryruby.hobix.com/">Online IRB</a> | ||
| One teacher said this wasn't "fun & easy" enough for middle- and high-school kids, but might be a good tool to offer at some point. | ||
| </li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <h3>Other languages</h3> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>Processing (wicked cool graphics/animation programming environment, based on Java language without the normal Java overhead)</li> | ||
| <li>Karel (taught at stanford intro CS classes with a Robot!)</li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <a href="http://www.alice.org">Alice</a> | ||
| (3D drag-and-drop programming environment for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker">YoYoGames</a> | ||
| (drag-and-drop game-making tool) | ||
| </li> | ||
| <li> | ||
| <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/">Scratch</a> | ||
| (snap together blocks to make stories, games, & animations) | ||
