Show HN: Build with Python – a beginner course where your code draws

https://scimigo.com/en/learn/build-with-python/01-draw-with-python
11•davidwshao•2h ago
Hi HN, I built this because I watched my daughter struggle at learning Python. I made something that runs only in the browser with visuals rather than relying on CLI/terminal output. No need to worry about python installation, package versions, venv etc.

The lab runs with Pyodide in a web worker, and the program output is a picture by the side of the code block. A user would experiment with the code, and see the immediate changes in the visual output.

The course has 13 modules, with the first 6 foundation modules free, module 7-13 with free readings but guide labs for a one-time price of $49.

Please give it a try at https://scimigo.com/en/learn/build-with-python Send me feedback on the UX and on the exercise design, especially if you teach kids to program.

I am also working on a C++ version for beginners (also with browser, no gcc or command lines). stay tuned.

You may want to review it a bit more before soliciting feedback. For example, the very first task it asks the user to do is already done.

oh thanks for the quick feedback. my bad that it was left over from the earlier starting code as a demo for the first module. I have now fixed it and the starter code is now partial, and will fail the checks unless the user completes the tasks.

It has a nice interface and I really like it. I'll stay in tuned for the C++ version as well.
