Problems Definition

• What contents should universities teach in their first computing course?

• What programming language should universities teach in their first programming course?

An an outcome of 2012 Intel Wuzheng (乌镇 ) Workshop, ASU and Zhejiang University, joined by a few other universities, have developed a course and a textbook that

• use robot experiments as the center of the course

• teach basic computer science concepts in real environment

• deliver the first programming language in the context
