Steve Cooper is a an associate professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. Steve is interested is computing education, focusing primarily on program visualization. He has been working with Alice and developing Alice-related curricular materials since 1998. Along with Wanda Dann and the late Randy Pausch, he has written many technical papers on Alice (http://www.alice.org and http://www.aliceprogramming.net), as well as two texts, Learning to Program with Alice (2006, Prentice-Hall) and Exploring Wonderland (2010, Prentice-Hall). The latter text includes Barbara Ericson as a co-author. The US National Science Foundation has awarded him several grants, which have primarily supported K-12 as well as college use of Alice. His Alice community numbers more than 3000 K-12 and college teachers. Steve serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Computer Science Teachers Association (http://csta.acm.org).
