History
In the 1960s, an educational programming language called Logo was developed. It is best known for teaching programming with turtles! The turtles were graphical or robotic turtles that were controlled with simple commands like go forward or turn right. Here’s a photo of a robot turtle from the 1960s.
The turtle had a pen attached to it. The student-programmers would steer the robot around using simple commands to create drawings with their code.
