This repository contains a collection of materials for teaching/learning Python 3 (3.10+). They have been modified from the resources of Jerry Pussinen to whom I owe many thanks 🙏🏼.

Since replit.com went the way of extreme freemium 💀 and many school network technicians will not allow installing of Python directly on school systems as security measure, Jupyter notebooks offer a good alternative to an online IDE.

These are my Key stage 5 resources. My Keystage 4 resources can be found here.

• Have Python 3.10 or newer installed. You can check the version by typing python3 --version in your command line. You can download the latest Python version from here.

or

• All exercise links will be linked to using Colab (Google's online jupyter notebook) although this is a work in progress.
