COMMUNITY SERVICES

· STARS (Students & Technology Academia Research & Service) Student Leadership 
 Auburn University Alliance, Auburn, AL 
 1/2007 – 7/2007 
  Used Language : Alice 3D, Squeak 
  This project is committed with 3rd to 5th elementary school students in Auburn, 
  Alabama. We taught them how to create their own computer simulations with end user  programming languages such as Alice 3D and Squeak. Through this project, we have tested the usability of those end user programming tools and observed how children cope with the limitations of those tools.
