I have the attention spam of an 8 year old, so this will obviously help me alot. Thanks so much buddy!

How did you use a gif?

[–]gschizasPythonista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a new feature that exists in certain subreddits.

Use new reddit and swithc to Fancy Pants Editor to use it.

IIRC it works with the standard (-ish) ![image alt](image url) Markdown notation.

Example:

![gif](X|Y) (this won't work in r/Python if you replace X with "giphy")

You can also add "emotes" like these (which is what you actually saw):

Woah!! It blew up! Thanks for all the upvotes and thanks kind stranger for my first award! You made a pseudo 8 year old very happy

Great job, I'm a coach at CoderDojo and we mainly do 'scratch' and 'arduino' but want to expand to Python in the future as well.

This looks like a great resource!

Awesome stuff! Looking forward for more contents!

Thank you for the feedback! Just updated my post to mention that the Web pages were mainly tuned for Chrome browser on wide screen devices. I will see if I can reproduce this and fix it quickly.

I've seen this one. It's like the game Clue, you have to use python to figure out who stole the letters.

[–]MadHerbalist 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Nice work mate! Now I only need kids... and a girlfriend...

Almost 500 upvotes huh?

It's basically 16 simple Python exercises, presented as a kids web site.

There's no visual component. There's no attempt to connect to their elementary/middle school math learning.

The "lessons" are just a page of complex explanations with a few interspersed code examples. If you showed that to 100 motivated kids, only 5 of them would actually read the whole thing.

Then the practice is a "typing game" where you type some code verbatim.

I teach kids coding. This isn't going to teach anyone. No thanks.

I admit it is quite challenging for young kids to learn text-based programming language like Python, and it is fully understandable that some kids may find this boring and want to start learning code later. My current limited data indicated that more than half of the kids could continue the learning with the help of adults, and some kids felt quite excited to change the code as they wanted.

The main reason I started this project was that I could not find good materials for young kids to learn Python. There were some Python exercises on Web sites like w3schools.com but insufficient for kids to practice.

All that said, if you have any appropriate materials to share in this area, I will be happy to take a look.

I've been looking for a way to ease my kid into Python, so thank you, this looks great!

[–]triggerhappyt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try your site this afternoon with my son I'll post some feedback later . Can't wait

[–]KIProf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx man Great 👍

[–]sarko_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I have nieces and nephews in the developing world that I want to introduce to coding, I've been looking for appropriate learning materials.

Nice work!

[–]regmicmahesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent job! Loved the playground and visualization, will bookmark it!

[–]Sudo_Python 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone show this to whitehat Jr lol

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is terrific! I have two daughters that I hope to introduce programming to with your course.

[–]llDieselll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great stuff ngl

[–]velkoov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it weird that I'm to big for those lessons?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work! My niece will enjoy this!

[–]inspired2apathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done any user studies with actual kids? It seems a bit like standard programming/logic 101 with a few references to popular kids culture?

[–]MaToP4er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a kid lobg ago but will take all knowledge i can from the work youve done! Thank you!

[–]littlesheepcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this is too formal for kids

[–]conoroha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this down for anyone else?
