JES+Finch 1.0

JES+Finch is a student-friendly programming environment that combines the Jython Environment for Students (JES) with built-in support for the Finch robot. It enables learners to write Python (via Jython) code and immediately see the results on a real robot, reinforcing core computing concepts through hands-on experimentation.

Key features:

• All-in-one setup: Preconfigured libraries for Finch control—connect the robot and start coding with minimal configuration.
• Beginner-focused: A simple, readable API for moving the robot, controlling lights and sounds, and reading sensor data.
• Immediate feedback: Run code, test ideas, and iterate quickly using the interactive console and script runner.
• Classroom ready: Includes example programs and is suitable for labs, workshops, and after-school clubs.
• Portable and dependable: A desktop application designed to work offline and reduce setup friction.

Ideal for introductory programming, robotics activities, and project-based learning, JES+Finch helps students transition from abstract code to tangible, real-world behavior—making computing concepts more engaging and memorable.
