ALSET for National Coding Championships 2019

Overview

The National Coding Championships invites students to experience learning to code in a fun and engaging way. Guiding their on-screen characters through a series of progressively challenging coding quests, students can learn to write code and have fun at the same time!

This invitation applies just as much to non-coding students as it does programming enthusiasts. All it takes for students to get started is just 5 minutes to setup and write some code, which can then open up a world of new opportunities.
