PLAYING TO LEARN!

How do the key ingredients of social interaction
and computer code combine to create
a successful programming learning environment?
 
The RAPUNSEL project team is researching and building a software environment to teach programming concepts to kids. Someday, it will be a multiuser game. For now, we are tackling small interactive modules. We think our approach will attract as many girls to programming as it will boys, and this might help out with the shortage of women in computer-related fields.

Enjoy our growing site, and please play with our prototoypes!
