“So incredibly important to start our youngest learners on a path to coding literacy - this program is engaging and effective.” ~ Eileen H.

Welcome to Turtle Tuesdays!

Turtle Tuesdays offers fun programming challenges for Logo and (sometimes) Pro-Bot, InO-Bot, and Kinderlogo users. These challenges are also posted every Tuesday on Facebook and Instagram. All the challenges are archived here, with links and solutions in the sidebar. Easier designs await younger learners, while older students can tackle more difficult challenges. All students will enjoy creating code that makes their project special to them as they explore new commands. Encourage students to work collaboratively on projects.

If you don’t already have Logo, get the 14-day Free Trial and start coding!
Get an InO-Bot robot for free with a 3-year Logo Household License. Just $49.95 (plus S&H) for years of coding fun!
InO-Bot follows your Logo commands, just like the original floor turtle.
