Teaching Python to young learners comes with unique challenges:
- Setting up local IDEs on students' computers can be time-consuming and frustrating.
- Distributing lecture materials through traditional methods (e.g., printouts) is inefficient and environmentally unfriendly.
- Manually checking answers and tracking student progress is labor-intensive and prone to errors.
- Ensuring consistent learning environments across different devices and operating systems can be difficult.
