Turtle Geometry at the Logo Summer Institute
Michael Tempel
an immersion in creative computing for K12 educators
July 8-11, 2024
New York City
We limit the number of participants to ensure that everyone has abundant resources and attention. Registration will close when we reach capacity or on June 30, whichever comes first. We encourage you to register now.
One of the areas for explorations, activities, and projects will be Turtle Geometry
Turtle Talk was incorporated into early versions of Logo more than 50 years ago to control robot and screen turtles. Turtle Geometry has become commonplace throughout the world of educational computing as a microworld for exploring geometry, and for drawing and robotics projects.
It has come into its own as a rich environment for artistic expression using TurtleArt and ArtLogo. Turtle geometry designs may also become physical objects using laser cutting and etching, 3D printing, and embroidery machines.
The robot turtle has evolved into the Finch Robot, which can do everything the old turtle could, including drawing. The Finch also has a variety of sensors that you can program to help it navigate its environment.
