1. Python is one of the top 10 programming languages in the world, and is highly in demand by employers in the biggest technology firms such as Google, Facebook, Youtube, and more!
2. You can use Python for pretty much everything.
- Data Science & Big Data Analysis
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
- Web Development (i.e. make websites)
- Finance and Trading
- Network Systems and Security
- Scientific and Mathematical Computing
- Basic Game Development
- And much more!
3. Python is widely used in Data Science and Machine Learning Projects. In Singapore, Python was used to analyze train schedule data, and successfully identified the rogue train which was causing massive train delays on the Circle Line.
4. Python Programmers are in demand and are amongst the most highly paid programmers in the US and the world.

Why learn Python Programming with Minecraft?
They believe that the best way to learn is when the student is self-motivated to complete certain tasks that they are interested in. They use Minecraft as the environment for students to practice their code, but the focus is always on the programming. As they always say in class, “Show me your code.”
In the PythonThinker Programming with Minecraft Class, students learn computational and programming concepts with Python® and use these skills to build big structures in Minecraft such as a house with a swimming pool, or a high tower surrounded by a flowing lava moat in just a few seconds and with just a few lines of code! By learning how to write programs in Python and applying it in Minecraft, your child will learn a new skill while having absolute fun in Minecraft!
This course is part of beginner Python® Programming Class suitable for young programmers aged 11 and above.
