Seymour Papert

This is a site that I found on Seymour Papert Click here. It gave insite to what organizations he was in and what he had accomplished through his technological advancements. He's on the advisory board of MaMaMedia Inc. and LEGO Mindstorms. He is a cofounder of the Artificial Intelligence Lab. MaMaMedia is actually used for families to learn how to use the internet together. It's aimed towards kids 13 and younger helping develope exploration, experession, and exchange. IT also lets kids reply about world events. The Logo programming link took me to Link. It seems that it is a program in multiple languages that you can actualy download where students can experiement with making moves, science simulations, and mathematical experiements, and much more. There are programs for different age groups from K-12. There are workshops added weekly and there's a link to those. At the bottom it talks about the Seymour Papert Recovery Fund.
