ICE Challenge 2024-25
The International Coding Elite (ICE) Challenge is set to make a comeback！
The International Coding Elite (ICE) Challenge, is celebrating its 5th anniversary with smart coders. The competition is divided into two categories: the secondary school division and the primary school division. Students from Hong Kong will also compete for awards based on their school districts (Kowloon East, Kowloon West, New Territories East, New Territories West, and Hong Kong Island and Outlying Islands), aiming to provide more opportunities for in-depth exchanges in coding.
This year, we are introducing an adult division, encouraging participating students to invite their parents and teachers to join. The organizers will arrange online teaching sessions for adult participants, and the competition will be conducted in an online format.
