[Edu-sig] training materials and learning environment for teaching kids python available

[kirby urner]

Many thank yous for sharing this.

I'm on board with having the language control things, ala Logo, actual
physical devices, as in Arduino or Lego, or virtual, as in Codesters and
your GUI / API.

André Roberge
, an edu-sig subscriber, has a strong track record on the "control robots"
front.

The maintainer of Python's native turtle module is also an archive
contributor.

We've been recently debating its coordinates feature, André having
identified an inconsistency.

Welcome aboard.
