Python courses for beginners

Question

Hello everyone,

I have been doing the robotics FLLC season for nearly 6 years with my team, the 'Golden Falcons'. For those who have not heard about FLLC (First Lego League Challenge), every year, teams are given a theme, board and mat, and criteria they must follow in order to not get disqualified, with the 2025-2026 theme being 'Unearthed'. The 2026-2027 theme name isn't out yet, but after reading and committing to research I have come to the conclusion that the new theme has something to do with AI and computer chips - as the teaser video was most likely looking inside a computer chip. It is predicted that the entire Spike 3.6.0 app will be rebuilt and redesigned, removing the blocks and word blocks code options and instead leaving Python and probably JavaScript code options instead. I am hoping to fully learn Python by this summer; currently I'm a failing newbie. I would highly value anyone's thoughts on what courses (preferably completely free and beginner-friendly) I could visit and complete to learn Python fully. Thank you so much in advance!
