The number of CS majors has declined by 50 percent in the last five years, despite the fact that the projected need for computer scientists continues to grow. The goal of the Alice project is to provide a positive first experience with computer programming (currently the most common gateway to computer science), to middle school students through college freshman. Alice allows students to use a drag-and-drop interface to construct Java-like programs whose outputs are 3D computer-generated movies. NSF-funded validation at the freshmen level has shown that exposing at
