Work

Until his retirement in July 2013, Harvey taught introductory (lower-division) computer science courses at Berkeley, as well as the "CS 195, Social Implications of Computing". He was also involved in the development of the Logo (programming language) for the use in K-12 education.

Together with the German programmer Jens Mönig, Harvey designed BYOB ("Build Your Own Blocks") and its successor Snap!, an extended version of the Scratch (programming language), which added higher order functions and true object inheritance for first-class sprites. With "CS10, The Beauty and Joy of Computing" at Berkeley he co-established the first course that's using BYOB and spread it to other colleges and high schools.
