What do Bill Gates, Elon Musk and over 60% of computer programmers have in common? They are all self-taught! Python in Pieces has been designed to meet the highest educational standards, but children can use it independently at home. That means they can move at their own pace and aren’t limited by teacher time. The platform contains guided activities that allow children to progress quickly and ensures they never get stuck.
Python in Pieces has been designed to transition children from block to text coding. If your child has no experience of block coding then we suggest trying Purple Mash first.
