Pytch

From Scratch to Python

Scratch

Scratch is a block-based programming language designed for children, which allows users to create interactive stories, games, and animations.

Pytch

Pytch builds a bridge from Scratch, a visual programming language, to Python, a text-based language, making it easier for learners to move into more advanced coding concepts. Pytch retains elements of Scratch, such as sprites and animations, while users learn to write Python code instead of dragging and dropping blocks, gradually introducing them to text-based programming.

Python

Python is an object-oriented and dynamic programming language and one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

Curriculum-aligned lesson plan for teachers

In collaboration with stakeholders, our team has co-created a curriculum-aligned 8-week lesson plan for teachers and classrooms. The Pytch-based module is now available for schools to download. It is also included in the CSLINC (Computer Science Inclusive Learning Environment) project, to reach and support CS education widely.
