Why ICode Hackathon
Ignite your passion, code your dreams, and join the Icode Global Hackathon—where innovation meets opportunity and the world is your playground!
Live & Interactive
Each level of ICode Global Hacakthon is a live 60 minute competetion which is interactive and fun
Global Standards
The ICode Global Hackathon is mapped to CSTA* & Google CS First* Coding Education standards.
Global Cohort
Over 2.15 million students from 73 nationalities participate in ICode Global Hackathon annually, allowing students to benchmark their skills with peers in their respective age groups.
Why ICode?
There are multiple assessments, benchmarking and certification platforms for professionals learning to code. However, for K12 Coding education, there was a void for a global organization that could assess, benchmark, and certify the learning outcome and skills for students aged 5-17. The ICode Global Hackathon fills that void with a platform for children where they can benchmark their algorithmic abilities, computational thinking, logical reasoning, design thinking and problem-solving skills with over 3 million students from 73 nationalities.
Competition Modules
ICode has 4 modules to cater to learning levels of ages 5-17 years. Our learning standards are sourced from open-source learning platforms like Scratch, MIT App Inventor, Python and CTSA. All the modules are interactive, and gamified, and are based on Code-Test-Debug-Run.
Blocky Beginner
Blocky Beginner is designed for Grade 1-3 with drag and drop action for different code blocks. Pre-Knowledge assumes basics mathematical and directional awareness.
Blocky Advance
Blocky advance is designed for Grade 4-6 with drag and drop action for different code blocks. This module introduces conditional and loop blocks. Pre-Knowledge assumes computational awareness of loop and conditions.
Python Beginner
Python Beginner is designed for Grade 7-8 based on Click-to-Code. Pre knowledge assumes basic computational awareness and algorithmic intelligence.
Python Advance
Python Advance is designed for Grade 9+ based on Click-to-Code. This module introduces concepts of Conditional loops, nested loops, and multi-level programming.
Helping children
discover their abilities and benchmark their coding skills on the Global level.
ICode works with Schools, Learning Centres , education systems and parents across 73+ nationalities to help their students benchmark their coding skills globally with a live, interactive and fun coding platform.
