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!
