NCSS Grok Coding Challenge

Programming (also known as coding) is how sites like Facebook and apps like Instagram are made. Knowing how to program is like having a computer superpower.

Over the past five weeks, a group of Year 7 and Year 8 students participated in the NCSS Grok Coding Challenge. Within the competition the students learned how to program using the ‘Python’ coding language.

Each week they saw the complexity of the tasks and challenges increase as their coding skills developed. It was great to see how much the students learnt over the duration of the competition.

Our next coding competition will begin on the 24th of October and will be open to students in Years 7 and 8. This competition will focus on and teach students how to build a website using HTML and CSS. More information about this competition will be available at the end of this term.
