About us

CuriouSer is a client project for Alice. In this project, we are exploring the possible uses of Virtual Reality for computer science education. We are teaching the importance of function through a Space Cooking game using Google Daydream. The Cosmic Kitchen focuses on the following three learning goals related to why functions are important in programming:

  • Writing the same lines of code repeatedly is tedious
  • Functions make it easier to code
  • Functions are reusable

Client

Our client is Alice. Alice is an innovative block-based programming environment that makes it easy to create animations, build interactive narratives, or program simple games in 3D. Unlike many of the puzzle-based coding applications Alice motivates learning through creative exploration.
