About "Move The Turtle"
Do you remember the Logo programming language? A friendly Turtle will introduce your child step by step to the basic concepts of programming in a colourful graphic environment. Who knows, maybe your child will be the next outstanding programmer!
Why Our App?
By completing the tasks, one after another, your child learns:
- how to plan complex activities composed of simple elements
- how to use graphics, spatial orientation and sound in programming
- how to reuse previously completed work
Your child will also become familiar with the notions of loops, procedures, variables and conditional instructions.
Programming is about more than completing tasks, it is also about implementing your own ideas using your imagination. With this in mind we give you the opportunity to create your own programs from scratch or based on our inspiring examples.

Jenny Williams, WIRED
Move the Turtle is a great introduction to programming for kids (and adults who like turtles).
I highly recommend it for all kids,
whether or not they want to get into programming. The kind of thinking required to solve the tasks in the app is important for everyone to learn, for every field of study.Full review: wired.com
