Learn to code Python with EduBlocks

Introduction to Python with EduBlocks

Looking for a new coding challenge? Already know your way around Scratch? EduBlocks is a fun and free online platform to take your coding skills to the next level. EduBlocks is designed to help you learn the popular text based Python coding language, through the use of colour coded function blocks, much like the Scratch platform.

EduBlocks will run in your browser like Scratch, so there is no need to install or download any software. However, you may need to be able to access https://trinket.io/ for your coding project to run, but don't worry, you don't need to create an account.

In our EduBlocks sessions, you’ll learn the basics of Python, including how to use statements, loops, logic, lists and variables.
