What is MicroWorlds Jr?

MicroWorlds JR is an iconic version of Logo that teaches non-readers or early readers to program in Logo. Logo was created by Seymour Papert to provide children with a robust computer language with which to explore mathematical concepts. Papert invented Logo as part of a team at MIT, after spending time during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s working in Switzerland with Jean Piaget to investigate how children learn mathematics.
