The following speeches have been transcribed for the purposes of scholarship and preserving the legacy of Dr. Seymour Papert.
We are also assembling an increasingly exhaustive collection of the Seymour Papert’s published articles, interviews, and papers. This archive may be found here.
In a few cases, little known documents written by Papert and not transcribed by Stager are also included. Please help identify trends, big ideas, and shareable thoughts from what you read.
