Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hooper; this year the week runs from December 7-13. Python in Pieces would be a perfect resource to use for #HourOfCode. Transition your students from block-based coding to Python with guided lessons, open-ended activities and the ability to translate block-code to Python in both directions.

Python in Pieces is an interactive coding environment, designed to build student and teacher confidence in the text-based coding language of Python. With the ability to easily translate from block-code to Python, in BOTH directions, meaning that students quickly become empowered from as young as Year 5 through to Year 9!. We visited Caroline Chisholm School (before Lockdown) to see Python in Pieces in action.

We launched Python in Pieces, an interactive coding environment, designed to build student and teacher confidence in the text-based coding language of Python at Bett in January and are pleased to say that it has already been shortlisted for an ERA award.

This is the second part of our Q and A session with the developers of the programme, to look at how it supports pupils and why Python should be taught in schools.

In this blog we have a question and answer session with two of the developers of the program, to discuss what it is, how it supports digital technologies in Secondary schools.
