EdPy programming language

EdPy is a text-based programming language for the Edison robot and is based on Python, a popular computer programming language known for being easy-to-learn with high readability. 

Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest are some of the companies that use the Python program to develop its applications. Edpy makes programming fun for students because not only can they learn how to code but they can see their codes come to life with their Edison robots!
