I did a summer school/camp program at my local HS when i was about maybe 10 or 11 where we learned logo on apple //s, they even had a could of turtle robots that were controlled via, i assume, the serial port. So by the end we all got to send one of our programs to the bot to draw out in sharpie on a big roll of craft paper. I'm sure in my parents attic somewhere there it's probably still rolled up in a box.
Love the immediacy and physicality of that to this day, which is why i still love processing as a learning language for kids.
Oh nice, someone has done some work restoring on of those little robots: https://www.waitingforfriday.com/?p=70 https://www.waitingforfriday.com/?p=70
