2 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 ( ) 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
