International Youth Programming Contest
One million young people from 70 countries participated in the programming competition
CodeQuest, the world's largest youth programming competition
It has received attention from international media such as Bloomberg, Yahoo, and New York Times and is known as the World Cup of Youth Programming. In three years, it has attracted more than one million participants and contestants from more than 70 countries. AI4kids, as the organizer of CodeQuest Taiwan, has joined hands with Nan Yi Publishing Group, the Chinese Multiple Intelligence Education Association, and the Asia-Pacific ICE CHALLENGE to hold the Taiwan qualifiers, which are divided into two stages: winter and summer. The winners of the domestic finals will be sent to participate in the CodeQuest global competition.
It has become a global craze in 3 years
The first CodeQuest was jointly organized by Stanford University and CodeCombat. The competition was conducted in a competitive mode. Players could adjust their strategies and algorithms in real time according to their opponents within the specified time, continuously optimize their programs and improve their global rankings.
The competition model has been recognized by many international competition organizations and academic institutions, and is now the youth programming competition with the largest number of participants in the world.
The 2021 International Information Olympiad will also include CodeQuest as part of its competition schedule.
