We want to nurture a community of like-minded coders, who come together to ideate and brainstorm solutions to real-world problems around us! 🌍

We encourage all young coders between the ages of 7-18 to participate, and we would love to see your innovative ideas come to life through code and be showcased to the world!

The participation fee of $65 is to cover the fees for trophies and certificates, as well as the time and effort our judges are putting in to ensure that everyone’s projects are judged fairly and that all participants receive the appropriate commendations for their creativity and hard work!

Your video presentation should be between 1 and 3 minutes long.

It should show:
a) Your face
b) Codes
c) Guiding us through your project.

Some points that you can talk about in the video:
i) Describe your project
ii) What inspired you to make it?
iii) What is the purpose of your project?

You can do it with Zoom, a free tool, that you can download here. You can also access our guide to recording a video presentation by clicking here.

Alternatively, you can also use your screen recorder tool, a webcam or even stitch together videos made with your phone or DSLR. Get creative!

The maximum duration of your video presentation is 3 minutes. You can use any video editing software (eg. iMovie, Microsoft Photos, Adobe Premiere Pro, phone app editor) to edit your video to meet the required duration.

If your submitted video is more than 3 minutes in length, our judging panel will only watch to the 3 minute mark in your video to ensure fairness to all participants.

If the AI is used to generate visual aids for the presentation video, that is alright.

Regarding speaking during the presentation video, we would like to see you present your project personally and hear you share about your innovative ideas!

We encourage participants submitting projects using Python or HTML/CSS/Javascript to create projects on Replit and submit the Replit/ Google Colab project links. As they are collaborative IDEs, it is convenient for participants to share their projects as everything is on 1 link, and it is also easy for judges as well as others to access your project.

Firstly, ensure that you’ve registered. The submission link and instructions to upload your project and video presentation will be sent in the confirmation email upon registration.

You may re-submit your latest version at the same link as long as it is before the submission deadline. Your most recent submission will be the one that the judges will grade.

Yes, you can have more than 1 submission! We’re glad that you have made many projects that you would like to show the world. However, take note that we only accept 1 submission for each platform, and you will need to register separately for each submission.

For example, if you are 10 to 12 years old, you can submit a project using Python, then you can register a second time to submit a project using a different platform (Scratch or App Inventor). As long as the platforms you use are accepted for your age group, you are welcome to do so as long as it is a different project using different platforms!

Please remember that you can only submit 1 project in each submission. You will need to fill in the registration form separately for every project you want to submit.

If you have submitted more than one using the same platform, write to us at community@codinglab.com.sg to let us know which project you would like us to look at and grade. Otherwise, we will grade your most recent submission.

Yes, we recommend you to submit a project in the category based on your age.

Ages 7-9: Junior Category
Ages 10-12: Senior Category
Ages 13-18: Master Category

This competition aims to provide our young coders a chance to share their ideas and solutions to issues plaguing our Global community.
