While everyone in the MSTF has been learning a lot, and doing some good work, I believe we in the Software Research team have been having the most FUN.
We're using a software package called Alice (after Alice Liddell, of Alice in Wonderland fame) that enables us to build 3-D graphics worlds which we can animate to tell stories or just build pretty pictures.
The intent, of course, is to teach the basics of object-oriented programming, and I can see just how Alice leads into it. I will definitely use Alice to introduce my students to programming in the fall.
If we didn't do anything else in the project, the whole thing would be worthwhile just for the past week.
