EduBlocks features:
- Block Format: Easy and simple interface that uses a building block format to code.
- Extensive Documentation: Lots of documentation to get you ready to go quickly. New projects added every 2 weeks.
- Range of libraries: EduBlocks has a range of libraies like EduPython, Minecraft & Sonic Pi. (COMING SOON: GpioZERO, Sense Hat)
