"Hedy: A Gradual programming language" by Felienne Hermans (Strange Loop 2022)

Why it was recommended

One of the themes they talk about is the difference between "easy to learn" and "easy to teach" which I found insightful.

What it covers

Felienne Hermans presents Hedy, a gradual programming language for teaching kids that moves through levels from almost no syntax toward full Python. The talk covers why error. It is for a general viewer who does not plan to take a prerequisite first.
