We’ll be presenting a paper “Seeking Grace: An new object-oriented language for novices” at SIGCSE 2013 in Denver on March 7th.

We are designing a new object-oriented language, Grace, that is designed for novices. It is intended to integrate proven new ideas in programming languages into a conceptually simple language that allows the instructor and students to focus on the essential complexities of programming, while supporting a variety of approaches to teaching.

Hopefully, this opportunity will help us expose Grace to more of the CS education community.
