Educational programming language: program graphic turtles
Free Logo Compilers and Interpreters
The Logo programming language has been used to teach programming to children, as well as to create modeling environments for a variety of purposes. At its most basic form, the language allows you to program a "turtle" to move around the screen, drawing lines as it does so. Some of the implementations below have extended the language in a variety of ways, such as to add multiple turtles, multi-threading, image handling, a 3D world, etc.
Note that there are also other other educational programming languages available if your intention is to introduce kids to programming. In fact, if you have a budget for your classes, you might also want to think about using the Lego Mindstorms NXT to teach them programming in the context of robotics.

The turtles are also able to interact with each other and their world, changing their behaviour according to what they detect. The authors describe StarLogo as a "programmable modeling environment for exploring the workings of decentralized systems" from which you can "model (and gain insights into) many real-life phenomena". StarLogo was written in Java and as such works in Windows, Linux and Mac. The licence allows free use but distribution only for non-commercial purposes. Source code is available.
- StarLogo TNG
StarLogo TNG goes beyond the Logo programming language in using a graphical programming language and a 3D world. It is Java-based and as such works in Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. This Logo environment is free for educational use.
- Elicia (Logo Implementation)

- NetLogo
NetLogo describes itself as a "cross-platform, multi-agent programmable modeling environment", useful for simulating natural and social phenomena. It is suited for modeling complex systems developing over time. The model can be viewed in 2D or 3D. The language is basically a Logo dialect with extensions to support agents. Double precision floating point mathematics is supported. NetLogo requires Windows. You need to supply some particulars before you can download this Logo environment.
