The Hack the Code Challenge teen edition is a 6-hour online team-based coding and security 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.
In this page, you can find some useful information about this initiative and what's in it for your school.
At the end of the 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.
By participating in the Hack the Code Challenge Teen Edition, your last year students can express their interest in being selected for an interview with the Albert School and have the opportunity to win a 50% scholarship for a Bachelor's Program at one of the Albert School campuses: Milan, Geneva, Madrid, Paris, Lyon, and Marseille
You can organize a hub at your School: choose a room and gather your students on March 12th so they can play together. We’ll support you sending gadgets and snacks where possible. If you, as a teacher, would like to receive the scores of your school's teams, please reach out to us, and we will share the results with you.
