CEL Kids Hackathon is a short sprint collaborative coding event for students in grades 5 to grade 9. The students would be required to participate in pairs. Children would be given a condition for which they have to create an application on Scratch and submit it to us along with a concept note to be reviewed by our expert panel.
It could be organized by schools or organizations in their campus by their computer teacher registering as School Entry. Moreover, children can organize this at their home during the CEL Kids Hackathon week i.e. from registering as Independent Entry. The top 3 winners from the School Entry and Independent Entry would be felicitated with medal and cash prize. However, all children would get a certificate after successful submission of their application along with concept note.
The purpose CEL Kids Hacktathon is to give kids a chance to showcase their coding talent and celebrate it. Hackathons for kids helps kids to showcase their coding talent, builds creative, problem solving, collaboration and perseverance in kids and gives recognition to students who excel at it.
