“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 and ways to use them. Encourage students to work collaboratively on projects.
Challenge No. 109 - October 29, 2024
for Logo users
Can you draw a spider web in Logo? It's harder than it looks!
Challenge No. 108 - October 22, 2024
for Logo users
Let's go batty!
Drag the bat image directly onto the turtle in Logo. You may need to first save it as a file. Now it is a bat that can move and turn.
Write some commands to send it randomly around the screen and stamp its image now and then.
Slow the turtle (bat) down using SETSPEED. Change its size with SETTS.
Challenge No. 107 - October 15, 2024
for Logo users
Can you get the turtle through this maze?
It's not as hard as it looks. All moves are multiples of 30 turtle steps.
Save this file to your computer and then load it into Logo as a Drawing image.
Start with PU SETPOS [15 -287] PD SETH 0
Keep adding your commands in the Editor window so you can test it as you go along!
Challenge No. 106 - October 8, 2024
for Logo users
Can you send the turtle into space to orbit the moon and return back to earth?
Then load it into Logo as a Background image.
Challenge No. 105 - October 1, 2024
for Logo users
Use TURTLETEXT (TT) and SETTEXT commands to create a fun design with the word OCTOBER.
