Logo is a simple but powerful programming language for children devised by Seymour Papert, Danny Bobrow, Wally Feurzig and others at MIT and Bolt Beranek & Newman in the mid 60s. Even though it is refreshingly simple like one of its ancestors JOSS, it also has many of the powers of its other ancestor Lisp.<link>
Logowiki is potentially one of the softwares to be shipped with the $100 laptop. The goal of the software is to teach children how to program. It's really quite fun and easy to play with. If it's good for small kids it should be just about right for the designer mind as well.
