Sundae Electronics Translates Fairy Tales into Python Code

— August 23, 2021 — Art & Design
Nursery rhymes and fairy tales have been translated into over a hundred languages, but never code; that is, until Sundae Electronics developed a way to learn Python code through fairy tales. The storybook teaches the basics of Python programming by translating the classic stories into programs. When a user runs the book’s Python programs on their computer, the nursery rhymes and fairy tales are printed out on the screen. Each spread in the book consists of a code page next to a full-page illustration depicting the scene.

Each code page has a full nursery rhyme or partial fairy tale (spread over multiple code pages) written in English above its associated Python program, ensuring an easier translation process.
