Hi @David_Kelly! Thanks for sharing! I think these articles from the Knowledge Base are great resources as well, especially using the Code Viewer for students who are trying to transition from blocks to text: https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/sections/360009369272-Python-Tutorials

There are also great tutorials for blocks, Python, and C++! https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052648992-Viewing-Tutorial-Videos-in-VEXcode-V5

If students are still struggling to get started, have them open an example project that they can edit! https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045147812-Using-Python-Example-Projects-and-Templates-in-VEXcode-V5
