专注于电动车和能源领域的播客主持人和内容创作者。
Felienne Hermans教授讲述了她从学术倦怠到在编程教育领域取得突破性进展的经历。她起初在大学从事学术研究，但由于研究成果影响有限而感到沮丧。之后，她开始在荷兰一个贫困地区的中学教授12岁的孩子编程，这让她意识到传统的编程教育方法存在问题，即学习者缺乏先验知识，无法将新知识与已有的知识联系起来，且传统的编程语言语法过于复杂，错误信息难以理解，不利于学习。这些经历促使她深入研究学习方法，并最终设计了一种新的编程语言Hedy，该语言逐步引入语法规则，降低学习难度，并支持多种语言，让来自不同文化背景的学生都能更容易地学习编程。Hedy的成功也证明了她的教学方法的有效性，并为编程教育带来了新的思路。
主持人对Felienne Hermans的经历进行了梳理和总结，并对Hedy编程语言的独特之处和影响进行了评价。主持人还强调了Felienne Hermans的职业发展历程，以及她如何通过倾听学生和教师的反馈，不断改进Hedy编程语言，最终在编程教育领域取得了显著的成就。
Deep Dive
Felienne Hermans, a computer science professor, experienced burnout from her research. Seeking renewal, she started teaching programming to underprivileged 12-year-olds. She initially used a university-level curriculum, but quickly realized its inadequacy for this age group, leading her to explore the science of learning.
