The Logo Summer Institute is an immersion in creative computing for K12 teachers, parents, and technology integrators. It offers a constructionist, project-based approach that supports creative computing and STEAM learning and teaching. You will work with hardware, software, and materials as you build projects of personal and professional significance. You will engage in a process that is similar to what your students will experience as you bring newly acquired skills and knowledge back to the classroom.

In the Logo Summer Institute, you will have uninterrupted time to develop one or more projects of personal and/or professional interest. If you have a clear idea of what you want to work on, you will find support from the facilitators and colleagues to help you pursue your goals. If you are open to suggestions, here are some of the themes, projects, and activities that we expect to focus on in 2026:
-Bringing Stories to Life
