MICROWORLDS: BUILDING POWERFUL IDEAS IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL Craig Jenkins, University of Wales, United Kingdom In the 1960s, the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed a programming
language called LOGO. Underpinning this invention was a profound new

may be used by secondary school educators to build powerful ideas in
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. |
