@rosmo FYI I know the author of - lives just a few miles away from me -:) But the problem I have with that (and it's Python issue not EduBlocks issue) is that you end up with one long script but with or @microblocks or @SnapCloud , you can have multiple scripts which I think is much easier to debug

Got it all working with the latest version of , so now my most popular kids coding activity is bigger and better than ever.

We looked at a whole host of different languages including Different schools teach different software so I try to teach the concept, the challenges, the features etc. rather than a specific language. I still believe that block-based languages make coding accessible for children and encourage them to experiment and learn independently. We can focus on "good programming" later on
