Grok Web.Comp 2023

Web.Comp is a web design competition for school students. We’ll teach you how to build a website as we go along, rather than expecting you to be an expert already.

 

Web.Comp has two components:

  1. Learn is a 4-week series of challenges where students learn as they go along. Each week, we’ll release interactive notes with the information students will need to complete the week’s web design challenges. Students earn points for completing problems and claim a place on the leaderboard – participants will receive certificates for their results in this competition. The Learn competition starts October 23rd.
  2. Tournament is a weeklong competition where students can design their own web pages and submit their creations to compete against other students’ designs. They can also vote for their favourites. The Tournament begins on November 20th.

Web.Comp is free to all Australian students thanks to the generous support of WiseTech Global.

Diversity and Inclusion Youth Design Challenge

Diversity is one of Australia’s greatest strengths. By embracing diversity and ensuring inclusivity, Australia can improve community engagement and belonging as well as increase innovation and creativity.

 

That’s why between July to November 2023, we will be challenging young people aged 10-21 across Australia to ideate solutions to:

 

“How might we reimagine a more diverse, inclusive and accessible world for young people?”

 

As part of this challenge, we’re asking young people to focus on one of five key themes:

  1. Cultural Diversity: How might we encourage the practice of understanding and celebrating people from different social and ethnic backgrounds including First Nations people?
  2. Accessibility: How might we help create safe, accessible and inclusive practices and spaces for people with seen and/or unseen disabilities?
  3. Identity: How might we help create safe, accessible and inclusive practices and spaces for everyone?
  4. Regional and Rural Development: How might we build diversity, inclusion and accessibility in regional and rural Australia to support local communities?
  5. Technology: How might we utilise technology to encourage and enable accessible and/or inclusive practices?

Entries are open now and close 29 November.
