About the Competition

Bring Coding To Life For Students

Discovery Education and Edutech India brings to you a National Level Coding Competition in India for young students from Classes 2 to 6 (Age 7 to 12 years) across all school boards (IB, CBSE, ICSE, Govt boards, etc..). Coding opens up opportunities for children to explore the world of technology. It also allows children to acquire skills that they can use in future careers. Technology changes the world, and the world needs scientific-minded and tech-savvy talents. The cultivation of such skills must start from an early age. With the Discovery Education Coding Platform, participants will gain a thorough understanding of coding concepts like algorithms, sequences and variables – as well as develop computational thinking skills through decomposition, logical reasoning and problem-solving.

What does the competition involve?

Participants create a fun, engaging and interactive animations and apps to showcase all their coding talents, on a topic of their choice. Some of the examples could be educating their classmates on the mysterious pyramids of Ancient Egypt or a simulation of the Three Little Pigs as they try to escape the Big Bad Wolf or launch a rocket into space.
