What are competitions?

Competitions are 5-week long events where students learn to code as they go. Students earn points for every problem they get right and can earn a spot on the leaderboard. Each competition has multiple streams so students can choose the difficulty that is right for them.

We run four competitions a year, covering Blockly and Python programming, and web development. Check out the  exact dates of our upcoming competitions and get involved at a time that suits you.
