Pythonroom Brings Coding to the Classroom

Describing itself as a book, Pythonroom is available to all, whether in a classroom or not. Needing just a browser to run, and so suitable for a multitude of desktops and mobile devices, it provides an ideal jump start for kids to start learning coding.

The availability of step-by-step lessons is one reason for choosing Pythonroom as a starting point in learning to code. The other reason for jumping on the Pythoonroom bandwagon is Python itself. The language's clean, readable and English-sounding syntax makes it easy for someone not familiar with coding to get started.That aside,Python is also a fully featured, general purpose programming language with which you can do just about anything: Mathematics, Data science, Statistics, Automation, Natural language processing, Artificial intelligence, you name it.

The platform is built with a curriculum centered on the student, as such it makes it super easy to get started with tasks that require just one, or two lines of code but incrementally progresses into more in depth exercises, to the point of coding graphics and making simple games.

Europe Gets Its Own LLM

  EuroLLM is a fully open-sourced large language model made in Europe and built to support all twenty-four official EU languages. While several European states have separately produced their own LLMs, such as Greece's "Meltemi" or the recent offering from Switzerland "Apertus", there was no solution that catered for the languages of all 24 states belonging to the EU block. The time has come for this status to change with the appearance of EuroLLM, a foundational model that supports them all. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18448-europe-gets-its-own-llm.html
