## 🎨 Supplemental: Python Graphics

In the Supplemental material for the Intro to Python course, you can find two Python Graphics modules, one using [Brython](https://codehs.com/editor/videoplayer/2748312/2638095/15207/5657?) and the other using [Tkinter](https://codehs.com/editor/videoplayer/2425012/2638095/12329/5657?), that teach students how to create images in Python in different ways.

Both modules cover the same content with similar exercises, so consider splitting the class to test both. A final discussion on the pros and cons of each option helps students synthesize process differences. These modules are ideal after completing the Turtle Graphics module.

PyScript is a framework that lets you run Python directly in the browser using simple HTML-like tags. It combines Python with web technologies, allowing Python code to execute where JavaScript typically runs, making it easy to create interactive web apps with Python.

Tutorials are a great way to brush up on a concept or fill in a gap for content that may not be taught in one of the main courses. Each tutorial is organized around a small concept and typically takes between 10 and 30 minutes to work through.

These tutorials are free and easy to share!
