In 'curriculum-speak' the overall objectives of my Logo workshops are that students should know how to or be able to:

• describe, with historical reference, an important example of educational software relevant to the UK National Curriculum;
• explain the rationale for how programming can stimulate learning about computing; learning about geometry; learning about simple robotics with Turtle Graphics; or learning about aspects of language and logic through list processing;
• use, apply and extend their range of programming skills and concepts using:
  (i) a range of Logo syntaxes and programming techniques;
  (ii) perseverance to test and debug projects in order to solve simple programming problems relevant to the Key Stage 3/4 curriculum;
• develop a simple microworld/simulation in LOGO by following a project brief.
