UCBLogo: Free, Open-Source Logo Programming Language for Education

A free, open-source implementation of the Logo programming language designed for education to teach concepts like computer programming, mathematics, and geometry.

What is UCBLogo?

UCBLogo is a free, open-source implementation of the Logo programming language developed at UC Berkeley. It is primarily designed for education to teach concepts like computer programming, mathematics, and geometry to students of all ages.

Some key features of UCBLogo include:

• 2D and 3D turtle graphics using a virtual turtle that can draw shapes and patterns
• Support for variables, lists, procedures, recursion, iteration, conditionals, and other programming constructs
• Mathematical and geometric operations like sine, cosine, position and heading of the turtle
• Ability to create animations, games, simulations, and other interactive projects
• A simple, easy-to-learn interface and programming language
• Extensive documentation and curriculum resources for educators

UCBLogo runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and other platforms. It can help students learn introductory computer science and programming concepts in a visual, graphics-based manner. The educational philosophy behind UCBLogo is inspired by the work of Seymour Papert to teach abstract and complex ideas in an intuitive way.
