Explore how PyScript revolutionizes educational technology infrastructure in this 25-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2025. Learn how EduBlocks, a block-based coding tool for teachers and students, transformed from using expensive cloud-based Python evaluation services to running entirely in users' browsers through PyScript. Discover the technical implementation details of migrating Python code execution from server-side infrastructure to client-side browser environments, eliminating hosting costs while maintaining performance at scale. Understand how PyScript serves as an effective edge-computing solution for browser-based Python applications, with practical insights into building your own browser-native Python tools. Gain knowledge about the open-source PyScript platform's capabilities for running Python directly in web browsers, and see real-world examples of how this approach benefits educational technology platforms serving students taking their first steps in programming.
