Examples of magic squares -- planetary and non-planetary

 Here's a link to the 33 pages of (random) magic squares that we used in our colouring activity in the
workshop.

It's interesting to note that there doesn't yet exist a general magic square generator online. You can find some generators, but they keep reproducing the same squares according to some particular algorithm. Considering that there are so many possible magic squares of different dimensions, it seems as though there ought to be a generating program available.  We think that there is also a great need for  comprehensive ways of categorizing all the magic squares to help us understand how they work and what patterns they embody!
