Today we will be working on our transition away from blockly to python. In order to do this we will guide you in installing two important software packages: Anaconda Links to an external site. and Spyder. We will also install some libraries from the Corgis project (computational_thinking.zip Download computational_thinking.zip), the ones that have been allowing us access to weather, earthquakes, stocks and crime data.
