Description of Resource

Move The Turtle is an educational application for iPhone and iPad that teaches children the basics of creating computer programs, using intuitive graphic commands. 

Move the Turtle teaches children (ages 5+) the basics of programming (yes, we do mean coding!). Challenges and rewards keep children (with parents' assistance) & teenagers (on their own) engaged!

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!

By completing the tasks, one after another, your child learns:

  • how to plan complex activities composed of simple elements
  • how to reuse previously completed work
  • how to use graphics, spatial orientation and sound in programming

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.
