Summary
SPARK teaches Obi one Python concept at a time, narrated in SPARK's voice, with a live example running on the Pi. Obi types, SPARK reads the output, they see it work together.
Why
Obi literally runs code that makes SPARK smarter. There is no better motivation to learn programming. The context (their own robot) makes abstract concepts concrete.
How
bin/tool-python-lesson: reads lessons from docs/obi-python-curriculum.jsonl- Each lesson: concept name, explanation (1-2 sentences SPARK speaks), code example (Obi types it), expected output, and a challenge
- Evaluates simple expressions via
subprocess in a sandboxed Python environment
- Uses
tool-voice to narrate each step and respond to output
- Lesson 1:
print("Hello, Obi"). Lesson 2: variables. Lesson 3: make SPARK say something.
- Obi writes a tool by lesson 10.
Difficulty
⭐⭐⭐ Advanced — but this is the whole point. Build it with Obi.
