Going from Bits to Atoms: Programming in Turtle
Blocks JS and Personal Fabrication in Youth
Maker Projects
Abstract:
Software and hardware should be seen as tools
in the modern classroom indistinguishable in importance
and creative potential as the pencil and paper. Turtle
Blocks JS, a Logo-inspired, block-based programming
environment that runs in a web browser provides an easy
to use microworld in which students may explore
geometry, design through iteration, programming and
debugging. The designs created in Turtle Blocks can be
downloaded as simple vector graphics (SVG) and
subsequently processed for 3D printing, transforming the
digital design into a tangible, functional tool. Students can
use Turtle Blocks in conjunction with a number of
fabrication devices, including 3D printers and laser cutters,
allowing them to create increasingly complex artifacts. In
this paper, I present the work done with Turtle Blocks JS
in a summer academy for middle school boys as well as a
workshop for 10 - 13 year olds in a maker space
