Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. Today the language is remembered mainly for its use of "turtle graphics", in which commands for movement and drawing produced line graphics either on screen or with a small robot called a "turtle". The language was originally conceived to teach concepts of programming related to LISP and only later to enable what Papert called "body-syntonic reasoning" where students could understand (and predict and reason about) the turtle's motion by imagining what they would do if they were the turtle. There are substantial differences between the many dialects of Logo, and the situation is confused by the regular appearance of turtle graphics programs that mistakenly call themselves Logo.

LOGO is a programming language that was designed in the late 1960s for educational purposes. It was created by Seymour Papert and his colleagues at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to teach children the principles of computer programming and problem-solving. LOGO is a highly interactive language that uses graphics and turtle graphics to create shapes and designs on the screen. The turtle, which is a cursor that moves around the screen, can be controlled by the user to draw lines and shapes.

LOGO is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and it has been used in many educational settings to teach children programming concepts and problem-solving skills.

Logo programming language: Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. "Logo" is not an acronym: the name was coined by Feurzeig while he was at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, and derives from the Greek logos, meaning word or "thought".
