How'd it go Papert?
And there are even fewer who know that this history extends back to the 1950s. That’s more in the weeds but holy shit the things you find in papers by Minsky and Rosenblatt and Papert and on and on and one.

Im Anschluss an Seymour Papert, Emily M. Bender und Alex Hanna habe ich kurz aufgeschrieben, warum Techno-Solutionismus als bildungspolitische Strategie in eine Sackgasse führt.

Techno-Solutionismus als bildungspolitische Strategie. Oder: Assimilation statt Innovation.
In seinem Klassiker „The Children’s Machine“ (1992) hat Seymour Papert beschrieben, wie gut sich die Schule gegen unerwünschte Eindringlinge (aka neue Technologien) zu wehren weiß. Papert vergleich…

El rompecabezas metálico 3D fomenta el desarrollo cognitivo sin herramientas. Basado en Montessori y Papert, estimula el razonamiento espacial y ambos hemisferios. Resolver estas paradojas emula el Triángulo de Penrose, agudizando el pensamiento crítico ante problemas complejos de la vida real.

Some, like Seymour Papert went to do a lot of good (creator of Logo, Mindstorms and a principal of One Laptop Per Child).

💡🏡 Construcción modular en madera: innovación y sostenibilidad. Sin clavos ni adhesivos, piezas que encajan como bloques reducen hasta 70% el desperdicio. Como plantea Jean Piaget y amplió Seymour Papert, aprender y construir comparten lógica: ensamblar, adaptar y evolucionar.

Nøj, ny streamingtjeneste. Bytter Hartmut Rosa, Olga Dysthe og Seymour Papert ud med The Pitt, Ringenes Herre, Chernobyl, Sharp Objects, The Last of Us, The Last Showgirl og Babylon Berlin. Bare for en stund. Det er helt perfekt 🥰

People laughed at Seymour Papert in the 1960s when he talked about children using computers as instruments for enhancing creativity, innovation, and "concretizing" computational thinking. The idea of an inexpensive personal computer, like a notebook and a pencil, was then science fiction

In spite of Logo being my first programming language back when I was 7 years old, this is the first time I see a picture of the original "Logo Turtle". Seymour Papert (1928–2016) was a friend of children.

AI history folk! Pls give IDs for this, from May 1972, at the MIT meeting organised by Papert and Minsky around the work of David Marr (this led to Marr moving to MIT and changing the direction of his research). In the foreground, Brenner talks to Papert. Crick is on the left. Who else? Pls rt!

"South African-born political radical, trained as a mathematician, but apprenticed as a disciple of the Swiss pedagogical theorist Jean Piaget, Papert joined MIT as a researcher in 1963 and became co-director of its Artificial Intelligence lab in 1967" - Papert is the anti-Musk

Tried using Claude to generate bibtex entries (YES I triple check). It'll do an amazing job on some (you can even just say "the bricolage paper by turkle and papert"); then every 5th entry it will totally make up shit, creating a chimera, authors from here, title from there, all for a 3rd system.
