Seventh European
Logo Conference
Sofia, Bulgaria
August 22-25, 1999
|
EUROLOGO is a biennial conference, which focuses on
educational applications of Logo and other exploratory
computational environments for all levels of education. Logo
was born in the 20th century. What is Logo &endash;
language, philosophy? How did Logo ideas develop? How far
has Logo theory and practice gone? Where is Logo heading?
These questions will seek their answers at Eurologo'99,
which is special because it is at the border of two
millennia &endash; a 20th century epilogue and an entrance
to the year 2000.
