The next evolution in the classroom

Prepare students for the future with programming languages that are easy to learn and use. Students can program anytime, anywhere using this dedicated, distraction-free tool.

Two programming languages

TI-Basic and Python programming languages can be found on TI-84 Plus CE family of graphing calculators.

TI-Basic

The TI-Basic programming language is integrated into TI graphing calculators as a standard and is easy to learn, even for beginners.

Python

The Python language prepares students for 21st-century careers as it's a popular programming language that's easy to learn and used across a variety of industries. (Only available in the Python edition.)
