Intro for teachers: This guide is intended for students with a basic familiarity with the xo laptop, thus, it will not explain basic computer operation, such as launching the activity or saving a file. Additionally, this guide (and the Turtle Art activity) are designed for students with no computer programming experience.


Turtle Art is a fun activity in which you learn how command a little robotic turtle to draw pictures and designs for you. It isn't very hard and you can figure a lot of it out on your own, but this guide will help you to get started. Follow this guide until you get the basic idea, and set the guide aside and see what you can make the turtle do. When you get stuck or run out of ideas for new things to make the turtle do, come back and use the guide to learn more.
