  Computer Science Circles is a free programming website for beginners that is
designed to be fun, easy to use, and accessible to the broadest possible
audience. We teach Python since it is simple yet powerful, and the course
content is well-structured but written in plain language. The website has over
one hundred exercises in thirty lesson pages, plus special features to help
teachers support their students. It is available in both English and French. We
discuss the philosophy behind the course and its design, we describe how it was
implemented, and we give statistics on its use.
