Very interesting read! I've not heard of "Gidget, Lightbot, Code Hunt, and tutorials provided by Code.org" before, but the paper seems quite comprehensive.

- codezero 8y agoThis paper was written by the PhD advisor of the creator of Gidget, which appears to also have been funded by the NSF and Microsoft (like the research in the paper). Probably not a big deal, but I thought it was an interesting connection.
- andyjko 8y agoAuthor of the paper being discussed, and of Gidget here (along with collaborators). The work was primarily funded by a grant I received from the National Science Foundation: https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1240786&HistoricalAwards=false https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1240786&Histori... After the research, I raised some money through a Microsoft Research grant to support some additional work and pay for bandwidth for a decade. Just $4,000 left until I have to pull the plug :( If you like Gidget, please make a donation to support our skeleton crew.
