NEW DELHI:
CuriousJr, an online coding platform for kids, organised the biggest All India Coding Championship on November 14, 2021, on the occasion of Children’s Day to empower and encourage the future leaders of India.
More than 25,000 students from across the country participated in the competition, hailing from states like UP, MP, Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, and students in the south region of the country were also seen among the participants. The All India Coding Championship allows all young programmers from across the country to participate in the national level competition. This kind of accessibility allows kids from all around the country to shine and demonstrate their potential. The tournament was divided into two groups: Group A (4th to 8th) and Group B (9th to 12th). The top five winners in each group received a Rs. 10,000 educational scholarship.
“Winners were chosen on two criteria”, Janishar Ali, cofounder of CuriousJr., explained. “The first is the accuracy of the code, and the second is the time taken to solve the problem statement.”
