The Streamlit Experiment: building web dashboards with Yr 10-12
summary
Classroom trials use Streamlit with Github Codespaces and GitHub Classroom to teach Yr 10–12 Python; students build real dashboards, an image resizer that processed 20 assets, interactive plots tied to APIs, and live data views. Results are mixed: a clear win for students with Python fundamentals, but cold starts add ~5 minutes per Codespace and cheap four‑year‑old laptops (11 inch screens) break the VS Code-in-browser workflow, and many learners never grasp why to commit.
