Here is brief summary of W1
We covered the basics of the turtleArt platform - both sugarlabs and python interface.
The summary can be found below:
Turtle Art is a great way to explore mathematical and programming concepts in a fun and engaging way. This is inspired by LOGO.
Here is an example of image formed by repeating a simple sequence of instruction.

After the first session, we explored the python interface and how can one do documentation on the metastudio platform.
The participants shared the progress of making a polygon in the thread below

In the second session, we explored the sugarlab interface and how to use loops to make a shape.
We also explored some of the puzzles and the participants were encouraged to attempt the challenges at their own pace and share the progress in the thread below,

The above are the collection of challenges suggested by Barry Newell in the book - Turtle Confusion.
Feel free to choose any of those 40 challenges and tinker around with the code to produce something similar. Also, it will be great if you can share that in the thread below along with specifying the pattern number.
During the exploration, if you discover something new, share that as a challen…
