Pro-Bots are physical computing devices that utilize the Logo programming language. Simply put, they are small, mobile machines that, once programmed, draw whatever students can design.

Through them, students as young as five can learn the building blocks of computer programming, and explore concepts like angles and shapes. This project is structured such that teachers provide minimal instruction, and students learn through the process of design, test, and redesign. We encourage you to customize this project to the needs of your class, but maintain the ideal of students learning through exploring.

This guide begins with begins with a tutorial on how to use Pro-Bots to build basic programs. It continues with a series of exercises that build on each other, for helping students to explore programming on their own, then synthesize their discoveries to build increasingly complex programs.
