This workshop is an initiative of the Prolog Education Group 2.0 (PEG 2.0), which aims to promote the use of Prolog-like computing to make logical reasoning and trustworthy coding skills more universally available. It is part of the Extension Project "Logical Programming in Primary School," of the Research Group on Languages and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Informatics, National University of Comahue, Argentina.PEG 2.0 builds upon a nearly 50-year history of developing educational materials for using logic programming languages such as Prolog and ASP to introduce children in primary and secondary schools to both logic and computing. It also includes the insights and innovations developed for teaching Prolog at university level in both Computing and non-Computing courses.
