DALLAS, July 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas
Instruments (TI), the most trusted, most recommended brand of
graphing calculator, announced the next generation of the TI-84
Plus family – the TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator.
Available in time for back to school, the TI-84 Plus CE Python
graphing calculator helps students explore, visualize and better
understand math and science, while also introducing them to Python,
one of the fastest growing, most popular programming languages in
the world.
"At Texas Instruments, we care about making sure the next
generation is learning the skills to be successful in the future
workforce," said Peter Balyta,
president of TI Education Technology. "Python is a programming
language that is easy to get started with, good for beginners and
advanced programmers alike and is widely used by many of the
world's leading technology companies in areas such as app
development and artificial intelligence."
The new TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator includes
familiar features like a full-color screen, lightweight design and
a rechargeable battery that can last up to a month on a single
charge. Unlike laptops and tablets, the TI-84 Plus CE Python
graphing calculator does not have any distractions like Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or a camera, keeping kids focused on learning. Parents
will also appreciate that the calculator is built to withstand the
demands of the classroom year after year, and it will take students
from middle school math and science classes all the way through
college.
"By adding Python to the calculators many students are already
familiar with and use in class, we are making programming more
accessible and approachable for all students, eliminating the need
for teachers to reserve separate computer labs to teach these
important skills," said Balyta. "With Python, students aren't just
learning to program; they are learning life-long lessons about
thinking critically and creatively to solve real-world
problems."
Importantly, the TI-84 Plus CE Python graphing calculator is
approved for high-stakes exams, including the PSAT/NMSQT*, SAT* and
ACT® college entrance exams as well as Advanced Placement* and IB®
exams that allow or require a graphing calculator. Students can
express their personality by choosing from a rainbow of bold math
and science-themed colors like Infinitely Iris, Totally Teal or
Positive Coral-ation.
