Educational programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman and MIT beginning in the late 1960s, designed so children could give a graphical "turtle" instructions and see the results of their own code immediately — best known for turtle graphics.

Matters to this vault as the concrete technology through which Seymour Papert's constructionist thesis — "In my vision, the child programs the computer" — was actually implemented and tested with children, and as the direct namesake link to LEGO's later Mindstorms robotics kits.
