Similar to the 'floor turtles' used to demonstrate Logo commands in the real world, LEGO/Logo used Logo commands to animate Lego creations. The first experiments of combining LEGO and the Logo programming language was called LEGO/Logo and it started in 1985. :РІР‚Р‰35 :РІР‚Р‰74 As another part of the MIT Media Lab was community outreach, so the bricks would be used working with children in schools for both research and educational purposes.

:РІР‚Р‰14 As a sponsor of the entire lab, LEGO was allowed royalty free rights to mass-produce any technology produced by Papert, Resnick and Ocko's group and was also allowed to send an employee over to assist with research, so they sent engineer Alan Tofte (also spelled Toft) who helped with the design of the programmable brick. The collaboration very quickly moved to the newly minted MIT Media lab, where there was an open sharing of ideas. :РІР‚Р‰14 LEGO was receptive to collaboration, particularly because its educational division had founding goals very similar to those of the Microworlds company.

To this end, they decided to use LEGO bricks due to the system and diversity of pieces, and the Logo language due to the groups familiarity with the software and its ease of use.

:РІР‚Р‰3 Similar to the 'floor turtle' robots used to demonstrate Logo commands in the real world, a construction system that ran Logo commands would also demonstrate them in the real world, but allowing the child to construct their own creations benefitted the learning experience by putting them in control In considering which construction system to partner with, they wanted a 'low floor high ceiling' approach, something that was easy to pick up but very powerful. :РІР‚Р‰55РІР‚вЂњ56 As the types of programs created were limited by the shape of the Turtle, the idea came up to make a construction kit that could use Logo commands to animate a creation of the learner's own design. :РІР‚Р‰14 Papert had previously created the Logo programming language as a tool to 'support the development of new ways of thinking and learning', :РІР‚Р‰xiv and employed 'Turtle' robots to physically act out the programs in the real world. In 1985 Seymour Papert, Mitchel Resnick and Stephen Ocko created a company called Microworlds with the intent of developing a construction kit that could be animated by computers for educational purposes. 2 Robotics Discovery Set and Droid/Darkside Developer Kit.1.3 Logo Brick 1st Generation, 'Grey Brick' (1986).
