Dr. Seymour Papert is widely regarded as the "father of Logo" and as a pioneer in educational computing. He led the Logo Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from the mid-1960s, then the Epistemology and Learning group at the MIT Media Lab beginning in 1985. He was a founder and Chairman of Logo Computer Systems Inc (LCSI) starting in 1981, and co-founder and Chairman of the Logo Foundation from 1991 to 2016. Here are pointers to books, papers, and articles by and about Seymour Papert:
Cynthia Solomon was a member of the team that developed the first version of Logo in 1967. She has been involved in Logo research, development, and teaching ever since. She created this website, which documents the early development of Logo beginning in the 1960s including videos from school projects in the 1970s and from the Atari Cambridge Research Center in the early 1980s The site has links to MIT Logo memos written during the 1970s, and online versions of two of Cynthia's books: Computer Environments for Children and LogoWorks. There is also a collection of Logo projects you can try for yourself.
This document, compiled by Pavel Boytchev, is a comprehensive listing of more than 300 versions of Logo that have been developed since 1966.
This collection .of papers was published between 1971 and 1981.
began as a newsletter and evolved into the journal of ISTE's Logo SIG. It was published between 1981 and 1999. All issues have been scanned and are posted here.
Beginning in 1987 a series of Logo conferences were held every
two years in cities across Europe. The conference was renamed
Constructionism beginning with the 2010 conference in Paris, France.
Constructionism 2012 was held in Athens, Greece.
Constructionism 2014 was in Vienna, Austria.
Constructionism 2016 was held outside Europe for the first
time, in Bangkok, Thailand.
Constructionism
2018 was held in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Constructionism
2020 was planned for Dublin, Ireland, but cancelled because

The next Constructionism
Conference will be held in 2023.
