Today we've got a pretty fun one for you!

If you've been paying attention, you've heard about our course roadmap for the upcoming year, and you know that includes a brand new series of python courses.

Sounds great, right?

But... who is teaching this awesome new series?

Well, that's the name of the game in the #whoisteachingpythonchallenge.

Over the next week, the Maven instructors will be dropping clues on LinkedIn to give you a chance to uncover our new python instructor's identity.

And of course, we'll be giving away a free all-access membership to he first person who can figure it out.

We’ll share more about the challenge details below...

How to play

For this challenge, your task is to follow the clues provided by the Maven team, and uncover the identity of our newest instructor.

How to submit your offical guess(es)

You're only allowed one guess per day, so make it count!

Share a LinkedIn post mentioning @Maven Analytics and the hashtag #whoisteachingpython, include the 'WHO IS MAVEN'S NEW PYTHON INSTRUCTOR' image from the top of this post, and tag the person you think is our new instructor.

Each official guess should include the following...

1. The square 'WHO IS MAVEN'S NEW PYTHON INSTRUCTOR' image from the top of this post (download and share w/ your post)

2. A mention of @Maven Analytics, so we can see your guess

3. The hashtag #whoisteachingpython

4. Most importantly, tag the person you think is the new instructor
