The beloved award-winning classic, re-issued with programming lessons only, for grade 7 and up. Prepare your teen for the 21st century.

What is Logo?

Logo is a computer language designed to teach kids reasoning skills. It gives kids feedback that delights them.

The kids command a tiny robot turtle carrying a pen and a bucket. They tell it where to go on the page, giving commands like forward 50 (go forward 50 turtle steps). The turtle draws lines as commanded and dumps colors. For animations, the turtle assumes a variety of shapes.

Not only is Logo great for teaching reasoning to kids, but it has all the bells and whistles of a robust programming language, including parallel processing. So it’s a natural for teaching sophisticated programming to teens. Skills learned on it transfer easily to other languages.

Do you worry about exposing your child to violent computer games? Using Computer Science Pure and Simple, your teen can create his or her own games!

How do we make these games?

The Logo software disk is provided directly by a Canadian company that worked closely with Logo’s creators at MIT and sells to top-quality schools around the world. Purchasers of these books will receive information about how to buy a download or a disk.
