Abstract

We present a software environment in which students learn concurrency by programming the behaviour of a set of interacting agents. The language defined puts together the turtle primitives of the Logo language, the classic sequential imperative language constructs and the concurrent ones. It is possible to program a dynamic world in which independent agents interact with one another through the exchange of messages.
