MicroWorlds

<p>MicroWorlds is a family of computer programs developed by Logo Computer Systems Inc. (LCSI) that uses the <a href="/facts/Logo_(programming_language)/Wh4sdwAh">Logo programming language</a> and a <a href="/facts/Turtle/X0ImnxYt">turtle</a>-shaped object to teach language, mathematics, programming, and robotics concepts in primary and secondary education. The program was part of a larger set of dialects and implementations created by <a href="/facts/Seymour_Papert/PKyKQuV6">Seymour Papert</a> aimed at triggering the development of abstract ideas by children through experimentation.
</p><p>MicroWorlds was first released in 1993 for <a href="/facts/MS-DOS/fVrrz1uN">MS-DOS</a> and <a href="/facts/Classic_Mac_OS/I5fQq44K">Classic Mac OS</a> computers, and in 1996 for <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a>. The program became incompatible with macOS 10.15 and higher due to requiring 32-bit architecture. Support for the program on Windows ended 30 November, 2023 and LCSI on announced a browser-based program called Lynx would be the program's replacement.
