CODE, COMPETE, WIN!

Geared for Coders Ages 8-14

Empowering Young Coders with Frequent Competitions and Global Recognition

At Code Race™, your child has the opportunity to participate in frequent coding contests, showcasing their skills and competing against talented young coders from around the world. Through our ranking system, young programmers compare themselves to their peers in a global community.

Designed to inspire growth at every level, our ranking system works similarly to the Chess ranking system. Each participant’s rank is determined by their performance in the contest and the ranks of their opponents. Coders who perform well against higher-ranked participants will receive a bigger boost to their ranking after the contest. This system not only reflects current skill levels but also tracks improvement as participants climb the ranks.

Whether participating in our smaller one-round competitions or larger three-round prize-based contests, Code Race equips coders with the tools to continuously sharpen their skills, build confidence, and have fun along the way!

Here at Code Race, the quest for coding mastery never stops!

Why Code Race?

Frequent Competitions for Continuous Improvement

Unlike other platforms with only annual events, Code Race offers regular coding contests to keep young coders engaged and continuously improving. Frequent challenges help boost their ranking and power up their progress.

Proven Ranking System for Precise Progress Tracking

Code Race utilizes the advanced Bayesian Rating System, a scientifically proven method used in competitive arenas like chess and tennis, where players are compared globally. We’ve adopted this well-tested statistical approach for our coding competitions to ensure accurate and fair comparisons of coders worldwide. With this trusted system, young coders track their progress and rank accurately on the global stage.

Expertly Designed by Coding Education Leaders

With over 10 years of experience and 60,000 students served, the team of experts behind Code Race brings award-winning coding education to the competitive world of coding contests, ensuring a fun and effective learning experience.
