About the Author

Seymour Papert (1928-2016) was a professor of mathematics and education at MIT, where he co-founded the Artificial Intelligence and Media Laboratories. He was the co-inventor of the LOGO programming language. He is the author of numerous books, including Perceptrons, The Connected Family, and The Children's Machine.

Mitchel Resnick is Lego Papert Professor of Learning Research, Director of the Okawa Center, and Director of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. A former student of Papert's, Resnick developed Scratch, a programming language designed to help children learn coding, and his project Programmable Bricks served as the foundation for LEGO Mindstorms. He is the recipient of the Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education. Resnick is also the author of Lifelong Kindergarten.

Paperback. Condition: New. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, first published in 1980, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the definitive case for the educational value computer programming.Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Papert is not interested in specifically preparing children for careers in computer science. Rather, Mindstorms makes the case that computation offers a uniquely practical way of developing a child's problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills. This new edition will also include an extensive introduction by Mitchel Resnick, a former student of Papert's and one of today's leaders in computer literacy, which will introduce the wisdom of Papert's research to a new generation of readers.Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. Mindstorms stands as the bible of computer literacy, a book that has helped thousands of teachers and parents harness the power of computation and teach their children to think both clearly and creatively.
