Yes, if we have presentations on APL, why not LOGO? :)  Seriously though,  
I've seen some pretty cool stuff done with LOGO and this would be a good

I work with US First, a national robotics competition,  and the lower 
levels uses LEGO & LOGO.  So there is a huge crop of geek sprouts very 
proficient in LOGO.
