I'm a teacher and would like to use this display with my students. Please could you send me the code you used to write text on the Pimoroni Pico display? Or maybe post it in the GitHub repository because there is no example there? I am not a computer teacher and would have no idea how to go about writing this code myself. It's a shame because your article shows it is possible to write text messages on the display, but there is no way for me or my students to do so without the code. Thanks.

It's a great little display. You have to run the PiMoroni custom firmware on the connected Pico. I'm running their Micro Python firmware and running several of their examples from their Github repo. Links are below.
