Python interactives

Last updated on 2026-04-28 | Edit this page

These coding interactives use Jupyter Notebooks that you can open and use with any web browser without any software installations on your own computer. This is ideal for beginners with Python who do not yet want to learn how to use a Python editor and graphical user interface (GUI) like Jupyter Lab or Sublime on their own computer.

If you plan to use Python in the future, however, we recommend that you instead try the activities from our Python STEM Data Visualization with Du Bois lesson site. That site has activities with Du Boisian examples for learning to use Jupyter Lab for data visualization on your own computer.
