ArtLogo and TurtleArt: a workshop led by Artemis Papert and Brian Silverman

<a href="http://turtleart.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>When: Saturday, February12, 2022, 10:00 am to noon ESTWhere: Anywhere via ZoomCost: $10 per person. Free for people who participated in the 2021 Virtual Logo Summer Institute

ArtLogo is a text-based version of TurtleArt. These two apps are designed to enable you to create images while exploring geometry and programming. They are essentially two implementations of the same microworld. TurtleArt uses blocks programming, ArtLogo uses text programming. You will have different takeaways from this workshop depending on your prior experience.

•	If you are familiar with TurtleArt, you will learn a different programming paradigm to create the kinds of images that you are familiar with.
•	If you have worked with traditional versions of Logo, ArtLogo will be familiar. But you will see how the graphics capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

Working with TurtleArt and ArtLogo also offers a good starting point for a conversation about blocks vs. text programming, a topic that is frequently raised among educational technology teachers. Often the discussion is entangled with other issues about programming languages. For example, the differences between Scratch and Python go way beyond text and blocks. Since ArtLogo and TurtleArt are essentially versions of each other, the text/blocks issue may be highlighted.
