IDE for High School Data Science Class

I am teaching a (pilot) high school data science class. I have access to Google Sheets and CODAP, but would really like to use Python and teach at least a little programming. My problem is I cannot use kaggle or Google Colab. I am looking for a free IDE that might not be blocked by my firewalls. My students use little Chromebooks.

There was a thread about installing Python on Chromebooks here:

I don’t know anything about Chromebooks but usually if you have Python installed you have IDLE which is probably a suitable IDE for your students.

Hey, as you can not use colab or Kaggle. Here below are some of the free browser based on IDEs that work well on chromebooks and it also include some teaching tips that will be very useful.

1. Online Python IDE

2. Python Fiddle

3. PyScript

I would suggest first start with Online Python IDe then later Use Python Fiddle for Data science projects.

Hope this will help you.

I would suggest to just use a local instance of Jupyter.

Or you can use JupyterLite, which is a fully in-browser deployment of Jupyter, so you don’t need any local install.
