Competitions: Coding Challenges That Get Kids Excited

Competition brings out something in kids that a regular lesson often can’t — it makes them curious, more willing to push through a hard problem, and more likely to help (and learn from) each other along the way. This category covers CodeMonkey’s own coding competitions and Hour of Code events, along with the schools and students around the world who’ve taken part.

What you’ll find here:

• Code Rush — CodeMonkey’s flagship coding competition, year over year
• Cyber Olympics — student competitions from Israel to Hong Kong and beyond
• School & classroom competitions — real stories from schools that ran their own coding contests
• Getting started — how to host a coding competition or Hour of Code event yourself
