What are competitions?

Competitions are timed events in which students learn as they go. Students earn points for every problem they get right and can earn a spot on the leaderboard. Most competitions have multiple streams so students can choose the difficulty that is right for them.

We run 14 competitions a year, covering Blockly and Python programming, web development and cyber security and available in different difficulty streams. Check out the  Competition Schedule and get involved at a time that suits you.
