The NCSS Challenge is a programming competition open to all school students from all of the countries. The NCSS Challenge is unlike any other programming competition. We’ll teach you how to program as we go along, rather than expecting you to be an expert already. If you’re a seasoned coder, we have something for you too – the problems range from relatively simple to mind-bendingly hard.

KodeKiddo participated in NCSS Challenges in 2017 & 2018. This year (2018) over 65 of our students participated in this competition.
The results of the competition have now been released, and 19 students from KodeKiddo came in at the top of the leaderboard with Perfect Scores! We got a special email recognition from Grok.

Hackathon (also known as hackfest) is an event where programmers and other parties involved in software development collaborate to create a software project within a short period of time (usually within 24 hours). Hackathon has been help in various locations, especially for college and high school kids, with the purpose of introducing programming, support collaboration, and a media where companies look for qualified candidate for job openings.

Inspired by the hackathon, KodeKiddo held KiddoHack which is a mini hackathon within 5 hours period for children age 9-15 years old. In this event, the kids build a team and learn to work together to come up with an idea, make the design, and program the project with Scratch platform. After the project is completed, the kids presented the results to the judges. As part of the activity, the kids also worked on solving questions related computational thinking and programming.

Bebras is an international initiative aiming to promote Informatics (Computer Science, or Computing) and computational thinking among school students at all ages. Computational thinking involves using a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs and apps. The Bebras challenge promotes problem solving skills and Informatics concepts including the ability to break down complex tasks into simpler components, algorithm design, pattern recognition, pattern generalization and abstraction.

The second week of November is declared as World-Wide BEBRAS week for solving tasks. Starting in 2018, KodeKiddo participated in this competition to allow our students to improve their capabilities in computational thinking.

The challenges were delivered in KodeKiddo classes between Nov 5-16, 2018.

The kiddos did very well!! Check our blog for complete overview.

• On average in most of the categories, our results are higher than the average from overall California and US participants.
• 15 kiddos got “Best in School” achievement with 11 of them got the perfect score of 200.
• Total of 331 KodeKiddo students participated in this competition from more than 10 KodeKiddo centers.
