> SUMMARY: The kinds of modeling that NetLogo supports are becoming quite a
> force in the scientific world. NetLogo is capable of providing new and
> significant opportunities to think and learn in school. The installation on
> MLTI laptops should be a boost, but we will still need to put much attention
> into developing a Logo/NetLogo community in Maine schools.
> 
> As one of the Logo family of computer languages, NetLogo programming is
> designed to have a low threshold but a high ceiling. Max Crain has  worked
> with NetLogo and children as young as 10 years old. This software is also
> being used actively by researchers.
> 
> This workshop is open to educators from Grades 5-12.
