We use the [Trinket web site](https://trinket.io/) because it a kid-save place that has many of the basic turtle drawing libraries implemented in and easy-to-use web environment. It is appropriate for students just getting started with python programming but has limited libraries for our advanced data analysis and plotting labs. The free version is limited to the older Python 2.X functionality, but this meets all the needs of our beginning python class.

If you want to try another web-based system that support turtle graphics and Python 3.X we suggest the web site [repl.it](http://repl.it). Note that this site is not specifically designed for kids.

The map above is a visual guide to our Introduction to Python course. Students start their journey in the upper left corner at the green start circle. They then journey through each of the lessons until they reach the finish line. Many of our courses give badges and laptop stickers for students that complete the journey from the start to the finish.

For students that are new to programming, here are some sample programs (what we call learning labs) that you can try. You can learn by reading the sample programs, going to the Trinkit.io site and changing some values in the code. Each of the labs has experiments at the end you can do to extend to see if you have mastered the concepts before you go on to the next lab.
