This paper introduces the El Greco Platform, a Python programming platform for distance learning that employs an educational robot. This website allows prospective learners to remotely control Greco, a social humanoid robot designed to be cost‐effective, simple to construct, and appropriate for use in education. El Greco is capable of performing multiple tasks, including combined movements. These Robot capabilities can be programmed using either Python code or the Blockly library, which adds an editor to an application that visualizes coding concepts as interlocking blocks. Programming a robot appears to be a significantly more effective and creative method for students to learn a programming language. This educational tool was designed primarily for use by students and allows anyone to learn Python while controlling a robot for free. El Greco Platform features gamification elements that increase the enjoyment and engagement of the learning experience while reinforcing the concepts taught. The survey results on students aged 13–18 revealed that the El Greco Platform captivated the study participants and positively affected their attitudes toward programming and robotics. In addition, it significantly impacted their comprehension of programming and motivated them to seek additional opportunities to expand their knowledge of robotics and programming.

EL Greco Platform：一个新颖的Python编程学习平台，使用真实的机器人

本文介绍了 El Greco 平台，这是一个使用教育机器人进行远程学习的 Python 编程平台。该网站允许潜在的学习者远程控制 Greco，这是一种社交人形机器人，其设计成本效益高、构造简单且适合在教育中使用。埃尔·格列柯能够执行多项任务，包括组合动作。这些机器人功能可以使用 Python 代码或 Blockly 库进行编程，后者向应用程序添加一个编辑器，将编码概念可视化为互锁块。对于学生学习编程语言来说，对机器人进行编程似乎是一种更加有效和富有创意的方法。该教育工具主要供学生使用，允许任何人在免费控制机器人的同时学习 Python。 El Greco 平台具有游戏化元素，可增加学习体验的乐趣和参与度，同时强化所教授的概念。针对 13 至 18 岁学生的调查结果显示，El Greco 平台吸引了研究参与者，并积极影响了他们对编程和机器人技术的态度。此外，它还极大地影响了他们对编程的理解，并激励他们寻求更多机会来扩展他们的机器人和编程知识。
