In this photograph the students have moved out of the classroom and into the yard to physically test the programming path for the robot Valiant Turtle. In the early 1980s, the emergence of personal computers saw young children interact with computers, some playing with letters on keyboards and others programming screen objects and robots.This digital image forms part of the Sunrise Collection which includes educational robots, software and multimedia recordings of teachers and students exploring new possibilities with computer programming. 'Computational thinking' in a constructionist environment was emerging in Victoria throughout the 1980s and 90s.
