scicode-widgets is a widget library for the purpose of creating computational experiments for educational content. It is targeted to teach students how to code and interpret computational experiments while hiding technical details and boiler plate code that are not essential for the learning experience. The logic is purely written in Python to simplify the development process for scientific researchers as they usually are more capable in writing Python code than JavaScript. It therefore builds on top of widgets provided by ipywidgets to creating a framework out of it.
The core features of scicode-widgets are:
Customizable coding exercises and demos
Checks for students to verify their solution
Automatic grading using nbgrader
