I was really looking at computers as a way to understand the mind. But at M.I.T., my mind was blown by having a whole computer to yourself as long as you liked.I felt a surge of intellectual power through access to this computer, and I started thinking about what this could mean for kids and the way they learn. That's when we developed the computer programming language for kids, Logo.

The goal is to teach in such a way as to produce the most learning from the least teaching.

The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.
