Trinket.io is shutting down.

I'm kind of bummed. It doesn't seem possible to spin up your own version on a local server so I need to decide what to do for fifth grade python programming by the end of the summer.

The head of IT put me on to trinket... I didn't like that it was an IDE in a browser. But It was clean.

Please don't tell me "just install linux on 300 chromebooks."

That would be nice, but it's not in my control. I could ask IT to add apps to the the chromebooks however.

@futurebird At least Trinket is releasing their source code (not sure when). Not sure what level of infrastructure would be needed to make it work for you. Maybe someone will carry the torch in their stead? The Trinket folks mentioned Pickcode. Maybe they can provide what you need for your students? Or maybe something like https://scratch.mit.edu/ could be useful since it's fully free. I'm having trouble finding locally installed apps that teach in a gamified way but I'll look a bit more later.
