Who can participate in the challenge?
How many projects can I submit?
You can submit as many projects as you like under any category. We encourage students to create and submit projects for different categories to practice different skills and coding platforms.
How do I submit projects to attend the challenge?
After submission, where can I see and share my projects?
Can I earn more class credits if I submit more projects?
If any of your projects get 40+ likes, you will earn $25 class credits that you can apply for any Create & Learn classes and camps. Every student can win up to $25 class credits under each category. For example, if a student uploads 2 projects for the Scratch Category and both projects get 40+ likes, they can earn $25 class credits.
