EduBlocks is a free tool that helps students make the transition from block-based programming to text-based programming with Python using a familiar drag-and-drop blocks system.

 

In this session, you'll have the opportunity to learn the basics of EduBlocks from the team that built it. Additionally, you'll discover how EduBlocks, along with the free curriculum available to you, can be effectively used in your classroom to make the process of learning Python and text-based programming easier and more accessible for your students.

 

By the end of this session, you’ll understand:

 

  • The fundamental concepts and features of EduBlocks as a coding education tool.
  • How to use EduBlocks’ teacher-focused functionality such as assigning projects and collecting student’s work for feedback.
