Hour of Code

Notice that we received a large number of entries for this event. For that reason, instead of working independently, students may be sharing the same computer during the event.

Please, have your team arrive early, as they will have exactly 45 minutes to complete the challenge. Be mindful about the traffic pattern around Coral Way at 5 PM (It is very heavy). Students will receive their challenge at 5 PM and they will work on it until 5:45 PM. Please notice that students coming late can still compete. However, they will have less time than the other students. For example: A student arriving at 5:10 PM will only have 35 minutes to work on the challenge.
