CincoBit Tutorial
CincoBit is a low-cost board that works well in classrooms. It works great from beginners using block-coding to those interested in typed-coding, like Python.
PixoBit is a very similar option, where the LED matrix is replaced with an OLED display with 128x64 pixels.
Python
If using Python, then it is a simple USB connection to a PC. Visit the Getting Started page to learn how to blink the STAT LED using Python.
From here, the Tethered Sample Python tab on CincoBit Product page has a complete sample. Here it is here to help you out:

This block-coding option makes learning feels like playing.
Code (blocks) are loaded directly on CincoBit allowing it to run without an attached PC. Also, blocks have a "live update" feature. Touching the block will automatically execute it live on the device.
Visit the MicroBlocks page as it focuses on using CincoBit with step-by-step instructions.
