The Code Challenge is a 4-hour online team-based coding competition. It’s made up of two editions: the Standard Edition and the Teen Edition. They take place on the same day, at the same time, but the Standard Edition is for professionals and university students, while the Teen Edition is for high-school students.
Reply believes and invests in talent scouting and lifelong learning. The Reply Code Challenge initiative is part of Reply’s ongoing efforts to promote coding to young people, businesses, and geeks.
The Code Challenge – Teen edition, is a team-based coding competition. Over four hours each team has to solve logic and mathematical problems by writing an algorithm in any programming language. To join the Challenge, students must have a PC to connect to this website, and be part of a team of 2-4 people.
Students aged 14 to 19 years. They’ll have to register online as individuals as it’s a student competition, not a class or school one.
From 8th February: register online and form a team. On 21st March – play from 16:30 to 20:30 CET.
The winning team will receive 🥇€5500, the second 🥈€3200, and the third 🥉€2000.
At the end of the Code Challenge, we’ll add the score of your team (or teams if you have more than one) to the High Schools Leaderboard. To join the High Schools League, each student must tell us the name of their school, right after they’ve created their team. On the day of the Challenge, the points your teams earn will contribute towards your school’s final score.
Once the Challenge ends, the school with the most points wins a €2000 donation, plus a coding course designed for your class by Reply experts. The more students you involve in the game, the more chance your school has to win the High School League.
Get ready for the big Challenge on 21 March with your students. In the Learning section, you’ll find different materials about programming basics, past problems walkthroughs which you can share and comment on with your students, and also a series of videos focused on how AI can support students to solve Code Challenge problems.
Request your kit and promote the Reply Code Challenge in your school.
