PLAYING TO LEARN!

Come visit the land of the adorable Pollys, those crazy little creatures who love to interact, communicate with each other, build things, and have fun. Learn a thing or two about programming while you're at it!

The RAPUNSEL research project is building a software environment to teach programming concepts to kids. We think our approach will attract as many girls to programming as it will boys, and this might help out with the shortage of women in computer-related fields.

Enjoy our growing site, and please play with our prototoypes!
