BrainStorm STEM Education , an initiative from STEM teaching company BrainStorm STEM Education , is inviting students to use Minecraft and Python to learn how to code. The lessons are taken in the form of a Minecraft adventure game and involve challenges that must be beaten using the open-source programming language Python . Minecraft is, of course, the wildly popular online platform that enables users to create and explore virtual worlds using small blocks. Gamification provides students with a "captivating and educational coding experience”, says BrainStorm STEM Education CEO Darren Jones . The course retails at $ 99 and offers about 15 hours of instruction in 20 video segments.
