The Logo Summer Institutes are intensive workshops with an emphasis on constructionist, project-based learning. Personally meaningful projects provide the context for learning about Logo and computers as well as about the subject matter involved in the project. The Institutes also serve as models of the teaching and learning environments that you might set up in your own home or school. The Logo Summer Institutes feature small class size with two or more facilitators, allowing for an individualized approach that accommodates both novices and experienced Logo users working on projects in many different areas: robotics, mathematics, language, simulation, animation, game design, and multimedia presentation. A variety of Logo software is available including MicroWorlds, Terrapin Logo, MSWLogo, and StarLogo. For robotics projects we use LEGO Mindstorms and Control Lab kits with a variety of software options. Each Logo Summer Institute also includes recreation: hiking and rafting in Colorado, museum visits, ferry rides and walking tours in New York City. In addition to the New York and Colorado workshops, the Logo Foundation can arrange with you to run an Institute in your school or district as we did this past summer for the Winsor School in Boston and the Valparaiso Community Schools in Indiana.
