Building Python-on-hardware unit for grade 11. Students already know basic Python.

CircuitPython looks friendlier (drag-and-drop file copy, REPL over serial, Adafruit docs are kid-readable). MicroPython feels closer to real Python, runs more boards.

Teachers who taught both: which did students grasp faster? Does choice matter for college transfer (will MicroPython look better on app)?
