Pytchlang

Pytch is a stepping stone between Scratch and Python. It helps people to learn Python by building on skills they have developed in Scratch.

Fantastic Computer Science trip to @tcddublin where our students got hands-on testing with @pytchlang ! Huge thanks to Ben North and Glenn Strong for sharing their time, insights, and energy with us. #ComputerScience #Pytch #STEMEducation #TrinityCollegeDublin #CSTrip

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

We are delighted to be among those funded by @Researchirel to continue our work on coding and #ComputerScience education! We're looking forward to developing a community, accessibility and Irish language resources for coding, and to having some fun with coding! @gdstrong

A huge welcome to our new Pytch team member Augustina Vornehm! 🙌

Augustina will be working across all aspects of the project to support our #CSEd goals as a Research Assistant. 💻

Welcome aboard Augustina! ✨

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

It was great to meet so many #Makers & #Pythonistas at PyLadies meetup! ✨

We enjoyed presenting Pytch to participants & trying out coding tasks together to make an interactive Pytch game! 💻

Thanks @PyLadiesDub for inviting us and thanks @fingalmakers for such a great place!🙌

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

Looking forward to meeting PyLadies, #Makers & #Python community tomorrow @fingalmakers ✨

Participants will have a chance to explore how we support learners to bridge the gap from #Scratch to Python with Pytch!🐍

Thanks @PyLadiesDub for the continuous support!

Amazing talks & vibrant community @pyconit in May.
Great to meet so many passionate people, including the youngest one: Riccardo!
He learned some Python with Pytch on his tablet creating his own programs!
Thanks Riccardo & thanks to all the organisers for such a wonderful event🙌

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

...regarding solutions created by @CTYI students in Pytch:
Amazing to observe all their creativity & ability to code their own programs, as well as to personalize & design them down to the smallest detail!💡

What an inspiring culmination of student creativity & ingenious work!✨

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

Great to meet CTYI students few weeks ago @DCU & looking forward to meeting more today! Thanks @CTYI ✨

We enjoyed guiding them through a Pytch workshop & supporting their Python learning🐍

It was amazing to see the many different approaches they had & solutions they created!💡

Our team recently presented Pytch in 3 sessions for #ITiCSE in Milan @LaStatale!
Great to meet & chat with lots of #CSEd passionate people & to attend many interesting talks!

What a fantastic community! Congrats to organisers!

Congratulations to our colleague Prof Glenn Strong @gdstrong on receiving the Trinity Excellence in Teaching Award. 🏆👏
This is a highly competitive award process across college and a candidate must be nominated by a student, which makes this achievement incredibly special. 👏

[Pytchlang @pytchlang]

👏 Many congratulations to our Principal Investigator Glenn Strong @gdstrong for a very well deserved Trinity Excellence in Teaching Award! ✨🏆✨
Glenn's passion and experience in teaching is a huge asset to the Pytch project! 👏

[Glenn Strong @gdstrong]

It's an amazing honour to receive the Trinity Excellence in Teaching Award. Thank you to my students who nominating me and said such lovely things, and to my colleagues in @tcddublinscss who are always so supportive. This means a lot.
