About the competition
Scratchathon Competition
This competition is for students aged 8 to 13 (3rd to 7th grade) and is an introduction to programming. The main purpose of this Scratchathon is to inspire young students to find a passion in programming and develop a skill that will be helpful throughout the rest of their schooling and future careers. We hope to inspire students and introduce them to the wonders of programming through team-building, innovation, and fun interaction!
In this competition, students will be assigned a specific theme that they will use to create a game through the programing language called scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) . For more information, please visit the section above titled: “Competition”
