I don't own this product. (My grandson is only 5)
There can be several answers to your question.  I would recommend
using IDLE. I believe it's mentioned in your documentation. Depending
on your computer type you may need to download some other things
before IDLE will work.
You didn't mention what computer/OS and Python version you are using.
You should  always state that when asking for help.
