For anyone who wants to give LOGO a try, there's a really nice browser-based, javascript-implementation live at https://calormen.com/jslogo/ . Source for it can be found at https://github.com/inexorabletash/jslogo .

LOGO's great. It was my first introduction to programming back in 3rd grade in the 80s and definitely helped shape my eventual arc as a programmer. And honestly, it's just lots of fun to play with and explore.

Same, except they started us in 1st or 2nd grade. I (mid-40s) have vivid memories of the computer lab, with Apple computers lining either side of the wall and the lighting and everything. That segment in my early education left a bigger imprint on me than when we watched the challenger explode from the carpeted benches in my music class.
