BIG IDEAS START SMALL

A sidekick. A challenge.
An “I made that!” moment.

01 / MEET YOUR SIDEKICK

Your turtle.
Your adventure.

A friendly introduction asks your child’s name, helps them pick a turtle, and lets them give their new coding buddy a name of its own.

02 / FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY

Small wins.
Real coding.

Work through 30 missions across five worlds. Learn movement, turns, loops, and reusable commands—one satisfying discovery at a time.

03 / MAKE SOMETHING YOU

From “what if?”
to “look at this!”

Take your ideas into free play. Save a creation, remix it later, or export a picture to show someone your latest masterpiece.

THIS IS WHAT AN IDEA LOOKS LIKE

Four little moves.
One big lightbulb.

Type a few commands and watch your turtle draw. Change a number. Run it again. There’s room to experiment, get surprised, and try another way.

A simple LOGO example from the kind of code you’ll explore.

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT GOES A LONG WAY

Stuck is part of the story.

A nudge when it’s needed

Step-by-step hints and a handy command guide help a new idea click. Slow things down or step through code to see what happens.

Progress worth celebrating

Earn badges and XP, unlock colorful themes, and collect virtual treasures as you complete challenges.

Room to start again

Replay the introduction, rename your turtle, or begin a fresh adventure. A confirmation keeps the reset button from becoming an accident.

A NOTE FOR GROWN-UPS

Made for a daughter.
Built for discovery.

My first introduction to programming was LOGO. I made Turtle Club to share that same spark with my daughter—with more color, personality, and reasons to keep exploring.

It’s a native Mac app that works offline. Names, progress, and creations stay on your Mac. There’s no account to create and no online chat to manage.
