If you’re interested in teaching kids Python, also take a look at Hedy. It’s a gradual language that exposed more programming paradigms with each level. It’s used a lot in classroom settings.
Full disclosure: I’ve contributed a couple of commits.

She gave a wonderful talk at Splash 2023 on Hedy, I'll see if I can find it. *edit, I don't think it was recorded but I found these two which will do Hedy: Creating a Programming Language for EveryoneFelienne Hermans • YOW! 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4eSjA6btE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4eSjA6btE8 "Hedy: A Gradual programming language" by Felienne Hermans (Strange Loop 2022) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmF7HpU_-9k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmF7HpU_-9k
- rossant 3y agoVery nice! I'll have a look. Thank you. As a French, language is an additional barrier and I implemented some facilities in PyKidos to allow for translations of built-in global variables and functions (color names etc). But the Python keywords are still in English. Happy to see that Hedy supports full localization.
