| 34 | + <h2>Python is a programming language.</h2> |
| 35 | + <p>It's used all over the world by all sorts of people, from professional |
| 36 | + coders to complete beginners. It's very easy to learn. Use Python to |
| 37 | + code cool stuff on your micro:bit, Raspberry Pi or other computing |
| 38 | + device.</p> |

| 59 | + <h2>micro:bit</h2> |
| 60 | + <p>The BBC micro:bit is a small programmable device. The aim is to |
| 61 | + inspire a new generation of digital creators, makers and coders. |
| 62 | + Thanks to the amazing |
| 63 | + <a href="http://micropython.org/">MicroPython</a> project, it runs |
| 64 | + a full re-implementation of Python 3.</p> |
| 65 | + <p>The device consists of two buttons, a 5x5 LED matrix, I/O pins, |
| 66 | + an accelerometer, compass, radio, micro-USB port, battery connector |
| 67 | + and ARM microprocessor.</p> |

| 72 | + <h2>Raspberry Pi</h2> |
| 73 | + <p>The Raspberry Pi is a unique phenomenon. It is the most |
| 74 | + successful computing-in-education project in history with over |
| 75 | + 6 million units delivered around the world.</p> |
| 76 | + <p>But it's not just about the hardware! Thanks to the amazing work |
| 77 | + of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's education team, Python is widely |
| 78 | + used on the device to do all sorts of fun stuff such as program |
| 79 | + games (like Minecraft), travel into space (to the International |
| 80 | + Space Station) and control peripherals plugged into the Pi via its |
| 81 | + GPIO pins.</p> |

| 95 | + <h2>Resources</h2> |
| 96 | + <p>Teachers and programmers from all over the world have created |
| 97 | + fun, engaging and challenging resources for teachers to use in |
| 98 | + their classrooms. These range from simple tasks for beginners to |
| 99 | + advanced projects to challenge the most advanced students. They |
| 100 | + include lesson plans, code, books, worksheets and online |
| 101 | + interactive courses.</p> |
| 102 | + <p>Most importantly, many of these resources are free for people |
| 103 | + to use, adopt, adapt and contribute to.</p> |

| 108 | + <h2>Community</h2> |
| 109 | + <p>Community is Python's secret weapon.</p> |
| 110 | + <p>The Python community value openness, actively engage in outreach |
| 111 | + and give up their time for educational support (this site was |
| 112 | + written by volunteers). As one person put it, "I can for the |
| 113 | + programming language, but stayed for the community".</p> |
| 114 | + <p>The Python Software Foundation (PSF) ~ under whose auspices this |
| 115 | + site was created ~ support and organise conferences all over the |
| 116 | + world. There's a good chance there's one near you very soon.</p> |
| 117 | + <p>If you're looking for support, advice or just some friendly |
| 118 | + encouragement, get involved and say "hello".</p> |

| 132 | + <h2>Documentation</h2> |
| 133 | + <p>Python has comprehensive and excellent documentation. In fact, |
| 134 | + many in the Python community spend lots of effort making sure |
| 135 | + Python projects have comprehensive, detailed and easy to understand |
| 136 | + technical documentation.</p> |
| 137 | + <p>Need to know how to do something? Read the docs! Looking for |
| 138 | + the best way to use some code? Read the docs! Want to learn |
| 139 | + something new so you can impress your programming buddies with |
| 140 | + your knowledge? Read the docs!</p> |

| 143 | + <div id="build-slots__code"> |
| 144 | + <img src="" alt="Contribute and re-use source code"/> |
| 145 | + <h2>Source Code</h2> |
| 146 | + <p>Python is free software: it is given away for free (nobody pays |
| 147 | + to use Python), you are also free to use it as you see fit and |
| 148 | + the Python community actively encourages people to contribute code |
| 149 | + for the benefit of others.</p> |
| 150 | + <p>For this to work you need access to the source code: the |
| 151 | + instructions for the computer that tell it how to do the stuff you |
| 152 | + want it to do.</p> |
| 153 | + <p>Perhaps you already know this stuff and you're just looking for |
| 154 | + a cool educational project to which you can contribute. If so, |
| 155 | + you've come to the right place!</p> |
