Abstract
Space Python is a website for middle school students to learn Python programming at home. It features student and parent accounts as well as a curriculum based on principles of constructivism. Focusing solely on middle school aged students and Python programming creates a targeted curriculum for students with little to no programming experience. Both students and parents can track student progress through the curriculum. Using video and textual instructions for lessons as well as building on concepts throughout the curriculum, students are able to work at their own pace through the material. Videos explaining concepts are brief to keep students attention and offer explanations of each piece of code the students learn. Space Python’s source code is available at https://github.com/fairyfade/Thesis. A demonstration is available at https://youtu.be/dUp6ojhq0F0?si=Fhdy7PhShbuWy1XZ. Space Python provides an easy to use website for students to learn Python programming.
