101+ Ideas for Logo

This book doesn’t teach you how to program in Logo. Instead, it gives you ideas for projects to try using Logo. There are five levels of difficulty, so starting at Level 1 is a good idea. The ideas cover projects that use the turtle, numbers, words and lists, multiple turtles and shapes, and music. It comes for free with a Terrapin Logo license.

Turtle Tuesdays

Another way to practice your Logo skills is to try our weekly Logo challenge. Every Tuesday, Terrapin presents you with a coding challenge to solve. Some are designed for beginners and others are more difficult. You can find the current Turtle Tuesday challenges as well as all previous ones on our website (link below). Solutions to each challenge are available the following week. If you weren’t able to figure out the challenge during the week, take a look at the solution and see if you can see how it works. Some challenges can also be done using Kinderlogo as well as Pro-Bot, and InO-Bot robots.
Check out the Turtle Tuesday challenges.
