NCSS Challenge commences Monday February 13
During the NCSS Challenge you will:
The NCSS Challenge is for school students from upper primary to all levels of high school; there's a stream to match every student's ability.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We want the NCSS Challenge to be a competition for every student. That means students who've never coded as well as those with years of experience.
To make sure everyone can be included, we teach coding as we go along. Each week we release new notes and problems; the notes teach new coding concepts, and the problems challenge them!
The core of the Challenge is our problems. We put a huge amount of effort into making them relevant, real world problems that challenge at just the right level. Plus, when you're coding in the Challenge you won't just learn about coding - we'll slip in some science, language, maths, history and geography too!
