“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.


Turtle Tuesdays Challenges for April 2025

Fun awaits you with this month’s challenges that feature lots of nested REPEAT loops!
A command line with nested REPEATs has a REPEAT instruction inside another REPEAT instruction.
You can nest multiple REPEATs inside other REPEATs. Is there a limit? Perhaps you can find out!
You’ll see how this works as the month proceeds. (Be sure to put all the square brackets in the right spots!)

Examples:

One REPEAT:
REPEAT number [list of commands]

Nested REPEAT:
REPEAT number [REPEAT number [list of commands] list of commands] ; the second REPEAT is nested inside the first one


Challenge No. 133 - April 15, 2025

for Logo, Pro-Bot, and InO-Bot users

Now let’s try even more nested REPEAT instructions.

Can you use THREE nested REPEATs to create this design?

Or you can just create a different design that has 3 nested REPEATs.


Challenge No. 132 - April 8, 2025

for Logo, Pro-Bot, InO-Bot and Kinderlogo (Level 5) users

Now let’s try a REPEAT instruction inside another REPEAT instruction.

Can you use nested REPEATs, TWO in all, to create this design?

Or you can just create a different design that uses one REPEAT nested inside another REPEAT.


Challenge No. 131 - April 1, 2025

for Logo, Pro-Bot, InO-Bot and Kinderlogo (Level 5) users

Let’s start with using just ONE REPEAT instruction.

Can you use REPEAT to create this design?
