What’s Next?

If you are enjoying Logo Blocks, check out these next steps:

  • Pro-Bot is a powerful bot that uses the same commands as Logo. You can write code using Pro-Bot and watch it draw complex shapes, flash its lights, and avoid obstacles with its sensors.

  • Pro-Bot Online Emulator runs in a browser and lets you try out all the Pro-Bot commands, including lights and sensors.

  • InO-Bot is just like a floor turtle. It follows the commands you give it in Terrapin Logo on a tabletop or the floor. Some Household and School licenses of Terrapin Logo include an InO-Bot!

  • Turtle Tuesdays brings you a weekly coding challenge to do in Terrapin Logo. Many challenges also work with Logo Blocks, Kinderlogo, Pro-Bot, and InO-Bot. Solutions are provided the following week.
