BBC based evidence suggested kids found these easier to understand and work with. Personally, I was on the \"we should use properties, when they make sense\" side of the fence but respect the decision of the group. It's evidence based, brings a certain consistency to things, and we've not had any feedback to the contrary of our decision except from programmers occasionally asking why we don't use properties. :smile:\r\n\r\nThe micro:bit is but a first step. Those that take to it will dive into \"wider\" Python when given the chance. :-)"}}
