Success story with PlutoTurtles

[gdalle]

Hi there @fonsp and friends!
This is not an actual issue, I just wanted to share a nice experience I've had with your package. Last week I was tasked with mentoring a group of students for an intro to programming, one of whom had never coded before (let's call them A). I tried having A do the same tasks as the rest of the group, but it ended up being too difficult since they had never encountered key concepts like variables and loops.
So in the end I had A work on the intro notebook with turtles, and it was a great educational tool! In the beginning A was skeptical, but then they started experimenting on their own by drawing increasingly complex shapes. The definite highlight was when A figured out it was possible to draw a near perfect circle using a regular polygon with enough vertices, Archimedes style 😎 When we said goodbye, A was wondering how to draw a stop sign using only the turtle.
Thanks again for your amazing work!
