Further, developing even the most basic of applications can require advanced technical Page 23.485.2skill, making the field not only technologically inaccessible to students, but potentiallynegatively influencing their perceptions about computing. History has shown that over time bothof these barriers are typically lowered through decreased hardware costs and higher levels ofcode abstraction, enabling students to experiment with the technology and be creative in howthey apply it. Early adopters also have “bragging rights” among their peers, fostering a sense
