Check out the BBC micro:bit origin story. It's a fantastic little board that was given out to about a million 7th graders in the UK starting in 2016. It would be great to get more devices out so kids can learn to tinker and code. We are fortunate that each of our students has access to a computer that works well for coding. And Python runs on just about anything. :)
