It is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to programming. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects. After the introducing programming using Alice, the speaker will demo KhanAcademy-JavaScript (http://www.khanacademy.org/cs) based system – it enables the students to get used to free-form typing and syntax errors, while keeping their interest with fancy GUI outputs.
