The AfriCAN Code Challenge is an exciting Pan-African competition that invites youth aged 8-16 years residing or attending school in Ghana, to program a game using the SCRATCH coding language, based on a set theme. The Challenge offers a unique opportunity for young Ghanaians to identify key issues in their communities and through coding, develop unique ways to address these problems.
Do you have a passion for tech and innovation? Would you like to play a part in the future of education? The AfriCAN Code Challenge is open to you. Interested youth can enter individually or in a team of up to five (5) team members. Entries involve the submission of a three-minute YouTube video showcasing how your game works and why it should be the winning entry. The winners/winning team will automatically progress to compete in the Africa-wide competition.
The theme for this year’s Challenge is Welcome to my Africa. Individuals or teams can compete by coding a game or animation introducing their language, culture or heritage. A 3 minute YouTube video showcasing the concept should be submitted via email to challenge@dreamoval.kowri.app
The AfriCAN Code Challenge is an Africa-wide initiative as part of SAP Africa Code Week in partnership with UNESCO, Irish Aid, Youth Mobile and the African Association for the Development of Education in Africa.
