Texas Instruments company has introduced the Python programming language in its new calculator.
It said in a press release that the TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator launched a few days ago, helps students explore, visualize & better understand math & science, while also introducing them to Python, “one of the fastest growing, most popular programming languages in the world.”
The new TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator comes with all the familiar features like a full-color screen, lightweight design & a rechargeable battery that can last up to a month on a single charge.
“At Texas Instruments, we care about making sure the next generation is learning the skills to be successful in the future workforce,” said Peter Balyta, President of TI Education Technology in a written statement. “Python is a programming language that is easy to get started with, good for beginners and advanced programmers alike and is widely used by many of the world’s leading technology companies in areas such as app development and artificial intelligence.
“By adding Python to the calculators many students are already familiar with and use in class, we are making programming more accessible and approachable for all students, eliminating the need for teachers to reserve separate computer labs to teach these important skills,” added Balyta. “With Python, students aren’t just learning to program; they are learning life-long lessons about thinking critically and creatively to solve real-world problems.”
