An Introductory CS Course for Cognitive Science Students

This paper describes an introductory computer science course recently developed at Pomona College that is designed specifically for liberal arts students majoring in cognitive science with no previous technical background in programming. A key component of the course is the use of low-cost robots to illustrate ideas about the computational foundations of cognition in a hands-on way. We describe...

Logic Programming for an Introductory Computer Science Course for High School Students

This paper investigates how high school students approach computing through an introductory computer science course situated in the Logic Programming (LP) paradigm. This study shows how novice students operate within the LP paradigm while engaging in foundational computing concepts and skills, and presents a case for LP as a viable paradigm choice for introductory CS courses.
