Code Championship

Fun, competitive, coding tournaments for young coders.

Code is Sport! Just like gymnastics dance or basketball competitive coding pushes us to be great Build a computer bot to play head-to-head against other coders!

What is Code Championship?

Code Championship is the ultimate competitive computer coding experience! Race the clock to build your bot, take on your opponent head to head, and may the best coder win!

It's a fun, exciting way for 3rd graders and up to develop coding skills! No prior coding knowledge needed! You will need to know how to type, use a mouse/trackpad, and how to work hard and have FUN!

Here's how it works!

Use the blocks to code your bot.
Play head to head!
Learn from your mistakes, and Improve your code the more you play!

Computer coding is more popular and more important than ever, and now it's your turn to get in the game!

It was so fun! The kids were so engaged and helping each other and it really encouraged healthy competition.

Official Rankings are based on official tournaments. If you know a coder who you believe belongs in the official rankings, it may be time to join a tournament.

I love how easy it is to actually do the coding. It truly requires no previous coding experience or knowledge, yet at the same time the more you work with it the more conceptual understanding you get with it. Plus it's fun; that's a huge plus!

Learning follows excitement. So the real question we should be asking is, "How do we excite the next generation about code?" And that’s where the idea for Code Championship comes from.

Who is Code Championship?

We are a group of highly energetic teachers and software developers who believe that all students should learn a little bit about code. Even if they're not professional software developers, - and we don't believe everyone has to be - code is going to be such an important part of their lives, that they should know at least a little bit about it.

How do we teach the next generation?

If we've learned anything over the past six years of teaching kids to code, it is that Learning follows Excitement.

How do we excite the next generation?

Competitive computer coding. We wanted to bring a sports-like mentality to code, to make coding more like a sport, and we did it by making code competitive. We created games that make practicing worth it.

Ready to excite the next generation?

This was so much fun!!!!!!!!!
