Cynthia Solomon is a computer scientist, educator and an inventor of the Logo programming language for children. She has been engaged -- along with Seymour Papert, Marvin Minsky, and others -- in foundational research on children constructing knowledge with computers. Holding an MS in Computer Science from Bo
