CMU project with ISTP*

The Gaming with Alice for Middle School Education (GAME) team is interested in
having middle school students use the Alice program , developed by
ETC co-founder Randy Pausch, to create games focusing on interactive storytelling.
While teaching students Alice and developing game with them, we also research on girls
and game development since everyone would like to have more female friendly, gender
neutral games: girls themselves, parents, educators, and the game companies.

The International School of the Peninsula (ISTP), an independent, co-educational dual language
school for nursery through eighth grade students. With 25 years of educational achievement,
ISTP is recognized as a leader in bilingual education and offers two 'nursery through fifth
grade' bilingual immersion programs: Chinese-English and French-English.
