  abstract =     "This paper describes our experience in using situated
                 programming to deliver modern computer science concepts
                 in the introductory programming course at Carnegie
                 Mellon University. We used an artificial life
                 simulation and taught object-oriented programming as
                 well as more traditional material. The course was an
                 experience, not an experiment, since many aspects of
                 the course simultaneously changed from prior offerings.
                 Nevertheless, what we saw was fundamental and
                 potentially far-reaching. The most important result was
                 that students were intellectually engaged. They came to
                 grips with basic object-oriented programming, they
                 mastered the topics of procedural programming, they
                 learned first hand about computer simulation, they
                 learned perhaps a bit about biology. Most importantly,
                 through it all they used programming to express and
                 explore their own powerful and novel ideas.",
