Since January, TY students have been transitioning from coding in Scratch to coding in Python in Computer Studies classes. The TY's were invited to participate in a Trinity College Dublin Computer Science research project using a learning tool called pytch.org. This tool is purposely built to help students move from coding in Scratch to coding in Python.
At the start of March, TCD researchers Glenn Strong and Ben North joined the TY class on a Zoom call. Participating students had to complete an online survey before they started to use pytch.org. Over the next few classes students used pytch.
On Thursday, 24th March, Glenn and Ben joined the class again on Zoom, where the TY's gave their feedback on their experiences of learning using pytch.
It was fascinating to hear their feedback! Thanks to all who participated and to the parents/guardians who gave their consent.
