Teaching code is one of the best ways to encourage students to use creativity, problem solving and critical thinking. The necessary skills to code successfully (such as problem decomposition and sequential processing) are vital to higher level thinking in any subject. Coding is a way to build these skills, while also building confidence and encouraging perseverance.

Python is one of the easiest languages to teach, because it has some very useful features for a beginning programmer, including being quite easy to read compared to some other languages.

Teaching (and learning) the Python language can help students and teachers to improve their new century skills.
