>&kturtle; is an educational programming environment using the &logo; programming language. It tries to make programming as easy and accessible as possible. This makes &kturtle; suitable for teaching kids the basics of maths, geometry and... programming. The commands used to program are in the style of the &logo; programming language. The unique feature of &logo; is that the commands are often translated into the speaking language of the programmer.</para>

>The first version &logo; programming language was created by Seymour Papert of MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1967 as an offshoot of the LISP programming language. From then many versions of &logo; have been released. By 1980 &logo; was gaining momentum, with versions for MSX, Commodore, Atari, Apple II and IBM PC systems. These versions were mainly for educational purposes. LCSI released <application
