WHAT IS IMAGINE CUP JUNIOR?

• Imagine Cup Junior (https://imaginecup.microsoft.com/en-us/junior) is a global technology challenge for students aged 13-18, organized by Microsoft.
• Students dream up a technology idea that will make a difference in the world and compete with other students across the globe. 
• The 2021 challenge is focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Good. 

Thousands of kiddos from all over the world, participated in this year’s competition to come up with ideas to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges using the power of artificial intelligence (AI). With so many amazing projects, every team should be incredibly proud of what they accomplished.

The Top10 global winners of the Imagine Cup Junior AI for Good Challenge 2021 have been announced. None of the teams from Indonesia has made it to Top10 this year (yet!) Hopefully there will be some of you for the following years!

Winners for Indonesia Level

In addition to the global winners, KodeKiddo has also selected the winners from Indonesia level.

So many good ideas to use the power of AI to help us solving more problems around us!

It’s Official: CoderZ’s Sprint Challenge ended on 31 March 2021.

CoderZ is a Virtual Cyber Robotics Competition using blockly and Python to control the 3D robot in solving various missions.

The kiddos have competed in dozens of challenges, mastered the art of coding, and worked as a team throughout March 2021.

We couldn’t be prouder. The challenges were not easy and sometime the kiddos were stuck and frustated and ran out of time. As part of this journey they learned to use their logical thinking, creativity to find the solutions, and preseverance to keep trying.

This is the first year KodeKiddo participated in CoderZ Challenge, with 18 teams of kiddos register on these two levels:

• Level Novice : for SD – SMP kiddos with no or minimum experience in robotics / coding
• Level Junior : for SD – SMP kiddos with some experience in Cyber Robotics 101 | FIRST LEGO League (FLL)

Congratulations for all the teams who made it to the top levels. Since we signed up under KodeKiddo headquarter in Palo Alto, our kiddos were competing against the teams from all over California!

Extra thumbs up for the 2 teams who achieve excellent results as 2nd and 3rd winners in the Novice Division. You guys rock!!

Thank you for your participation! We’ll see you next time.

• Note that this is not a technical coding competition, but more of a design thinking competition. The deliverable is not a software product, but a presentation about idea and solutions using AI technologies.

Thank you for participating in the October 2020 edition of Web.Comp! We hope your kiddos enjoyed it.

Over the past five weeks your kiddos have been learning web design along with students all over the world. People were participating in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom, just to name a few!

Web.Comp is web competition for school students that was organized by Grok Learning for students all over the world. It’ll teach kiddos how to build a website as we go along, rather than expecting you to be an expert already.

While doing Web.Comp, kiddo will learn HTML/CSS and JS, the powerful building blocks needed to build a website from scratch. Learning to write HTML/CSS and JS by hand gives you full control over the look and interactivity of your site, so you can implement your web designs exactly as you imagined them!

The kiddos could choose level Beginner, Intermediate, or Advance. So proud to see that most of the kiddos were able to achieve the perfect scores.

All kiddos who participated in this challenge will receive your certificates. See some examples from kiddos who received Perfect Score. Good Job!!

Ask your KodeKiddo center for your certificate or download them from the links above.
