Vermont’s Champlain College is hoping to generate more interest in computer programming by offering a free course to middle school students. The course, called “Alice Computing,” will be offered in the fall and run once a week for six weeks, giving middle school students an introduction to computer programming language and technique. The classes will be taught by professors in the Information Technology and Sciences department. Area middle school teachers and administrators are encouraged to submit the names of students they feel would benefit from the program, which is by invitation only. Interested students can not enroll without the nomination of a teacher or administrator from their school in an attempt to keep the class size small and focusing on only the best and brightest from each middle school. If enough schools respond, the college will create a waiting list in order to accommodate more students.
