Semi-automated grading for Marimo notebooks

mograder

Semi-automated grading for Marimo notebooks.

How it works: Instructors author source notebooks with solution blocks and automated checks. mograder generate strips solutions to create release versions. Students complete the notebooks and get instant formative feedback from check() calls. mograder autograde executes submissions in sandboxed subprocesses, parses results, and stores grades in an SQLite gradebook. Markers review and add manual marks via the grader dashboard. mograder feedback exports annotated HTML for students.

Quick start

pip install mograder          # or: uv add mograder
mograder generate hw1         # strip solutions → release/
mograder autograde hw1        # grade submissions → autograded/
mograder feedback hw1         # export HTML → feedback/
