Second year will take part in a class competition where the first 5 students finished in each class will proceed to the second round where they will compete against each other for the top prize. The first round will consist of fixing a Scratch program that is not working, with the second round consisting of students creating a program to a set brief. The competition aims to develop students critical thinking, problem solving skills and giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their coding skills.
