Why we built RunPy

Teaching programming to 20+ students brings the same friction every lesson: installs, blocked sites, lost files, wrong folders, no software at home. Setup eats the lesson.

RunPy removes those barriers. It runs in any browser, on any device, with nothing to install.


Built from real classroom experience

RunPy is built by a teacher with 12+ years in the classroom and 9 years as a Head of Computer Science, and is still developed alongside live teaching every week.

Every feature comes from a real lesson, not a generic coding platform retro-fitted for schools.

Built for teachers, by teachers.


Built for classroom teaching

Once students save their code, teachers can view it, run it, test it in an integrated terminal, mark it as checked, and leave comments, all in one place. Students get a notification the moment feedback lands, so they can fix and resubmit.

A one-click copy feature also drops code straight into Google Classroom, OneNote, or any other workflow you already use.
