Students in grades 5-12 are eligible to compete as an individual or on a team. Teams can have no more than 3 students. Students must be physically present with an approved proctor during the entire competition window.
If this isn't your Grade Band, please register for the appropriate programming challenge.
Each grade band will be awarded First, Second, and Third place finishers.
Students are limited on the resources they have access to during the competition. Under no circumstance should students access any unapproved resources during the competition. The only approved resources are the official documentation for each programming language. Students are not allowed to access any outside resources such as search engines, Stack Overflow, W3 schools, etc. during the competition. Under no circumstance should students use any AI tools.
Using resources that are not approved will lead to immediate disqualification and could also lead to a ban on participating in the competition the following year.
