Prolog was born in the summer of 1972, as the result of collaboration between academic researchers in Edinburgh and Marseille.

The Year of Prolog celebrates the 50th anniversary of Prolog and highlights the continuing significance of Prolog and Logic Programming both for symbolic, explainable AI, and for computing more generally. It also aims to inspire a new generation of students, by introducing them to a more human-friendly, logic-based approach to computing:

There are two free online courses for secondary school students currently being offered:

Introduction to Prolog (Programming in Logic) for Artificial Intelligence, 
six two-hour sessions on Saturdays starting 21 May.
Instructor: Dr Eric Fung, Head of Research Division, The Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education.

The goal of the course is for students to learn how logic programming/Prolog can be used to automate human reasoning and realize artificial general intelligence (AGI).
