Tandy 1000, parents sold it. Then TI-85 until a student I was tutoring stole it. Then a TI-86 and HP-48G, plus a high school CS class that used True BASIC on some kind of Macintosh, and by that point C++ and others on my PC at home.
But a lot of time in chemistry and on the school bus rides was spent programming on my calculators.

I ended up with a TI-86 as the cheaper ones were sold out at the time of the school supply rush.
It's the only reason I passed my math classes in high school. Luckily I kept my mouth shut so the teachers didn't know. Eventually they implemented a factory reset procedure on test day.
You would bring up the reset menu and the teacher would walk around and initiate it and confirm it.
Today (at least in France) programmable calculators have an Exam mode. When it is enabled, all memory is locked and you need a computer to disable it.

Ti84 here, basically the same
Although I doubt I'd use this in a professional setting, making coding accessible to more people sounds great to me.
