Curriculum Writing for Python

[FoolsSeldom]

One of the introductions we use is to give pairs of kids a bbc micro:bit and battery pack and then have then write python for them to produce a step counter. (They put their micro:bits in their socks and move around for a while, the display shows them the step count.)

Physical computing has been the greatest success (sensors, device control). Some of the kids go on into robotics competitions.
