;Brief explanation: The Python version of Turtle Blocks allows the user to export their project as Python code. We need an equivalent Javascript export for the Javascript version.

;Brief explanation: There are several block-based programming environments that allow the user to extend the language in line, such as Blocky and Pencil Code. (Turtle Blocks uses plugins for this, but they are imported). The goal of this project is to write an in-line block editor for Turtle Blocks (Javascript version).

−

;Brief explanation: There are several debugging tools in Turtle Blocks: the ability to set ~~break points~~, step through code, and inspect variables. But we could use a more comprehensive approach, including a mechanism for tracking progress over time.

;Brief explanation: Often we'd like users to be able to extend or modify an activity. Rather than doing this by writing Pyhton or Javascript, why not let them use the block language of Turtle Blocks as an in-line editor. For example, in the Turtle Pond activity, the user can upload Python code representing search algorithms for the turtle as it tries to find its way out of the pond. Why not use a block editor to write the search algorithm?

;Brief explanation: Using a framework similar to Turtle Blocks Javascript, build a suite of music tools for introducing the basic concepts of scale, beat, chord, phrasing, sequencing, transformations, etc.
