Listen "Episode 114: The EduBlocks Evolution and Josh Lowe"
Episode Synopsis
Way back on Episode 13 (https://www.teachingpython.fm/13), we interviewed Josh Lowe, then 15 years old and the creator of EduBlocks (https://edublocks.org/). When Josh was 12, he started a Saturday afternoon project to make a block-based coding IDE that generated Python code. Flash forward seven years and Josh still maintains EduBlocks as a software engineer on behalf of Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/).
This week, Kelly and Sean caught up with Josh to learn about his educational journey since we last spoke with him, the latest developments on EduBlocks, as well as the new direction enabled by Anaconda's purchase of EduBlocks in May 2023 (https://www.anaconda.com/press/anaconda-acquires-edublocks-to-empower-k-12-data-literacy-and-expand-educational-offerings). Special Guest: Josh Lowe.
