Learn with easy-to-use interfaces

Coding with Python is simple with TI-Nspire™ CX II family graphing calculators. The dynamic, object-oriented implementation helps students achieve mastery quickly, with minimum effort.

Menu-driven coding

In addition to avoiding spelling mistakes and syntax errors, menu-driven coding helps students discover desired functions rather than having to memorize and hand-type everything.

In-line prompts

Speed up programming with in-line prompts, auto-indentation, intuitive prompts and more to assist new and experienced coders.

Python modules

The Python implementation on TI-Nspire™ CX II family graphing calculators includes access to commonly used Python modules, like math, random, cmath and time.

TI PlotLib

Visualize and analyze data, plus discover relationships and patterns, while coding plots and graphs with the built-in ti_plotlib Python module.

TI-Innovator Hub™ and Rover

Dive into STEM projects, and bring it all together, with built-in Python modules that control the TI-Innovator™ Hub and
TI-Innovator™ Rover.

Note: The Rover animation is a visual illustration; its functionality is not available on the calculator screen.

TI Draw

Let your inner artist and mathematician loose with the ti_draw Python module. Discover beauty in object-oriented data structure.

Connect with BBC micro:bit
