Two evolutions of LOGO (itself seldom recognized as a powerful AI language based on LISP) that were designed as learning tools are StarLOGOT and NetLogo supervised by Uri Wilenski, a student of Seymour Papert, who generated LOGO.
Both have considerable support materials, including sample programs and a variety of books. I am surprised no one has mentioned these, especially Mitchel Resnick, author of the book Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations In Massively Parallel Microworlds. StarLogoT runs on the Mac, while NetLOGO is Java-based, and runs on several platforms. Both are free, and supported by the NSF.
