Code Ninjas to conduct holiday Hack-A-Thon

Code Ninjas hosts local charitable Holiday Hack-A-Thon events nationwide December 8 and 9 to raise awareness for and generate interest in computer science education this holiday season.

 

Code Ninjas, the biggest children’s coding franchise, is going to conduct a holiday Hack-a-Thon, a charity initiative designed to raise awareness for and generate interest in computer science education this holiday season. Code Ninjas will host free Holiday Hack-A-Thons nationwide allowing for kids to explore computer programming, while also raising money for local charities and getting a chance to win prizes.

Code Ninjas will host Hack-A-Thon events at 55 participating centres across the nation on December 8 and 9 using the kid-friendly programming language, Scratch. At the event, students will pair up and go head-to-head in a friendly coding competition in honour of Computer Science Education Week. Code Senseis (instructors) will choose the top three teams at each centre and recognise them with exciting prizes. The top team at each centre will be voted on by Code Ninjas HQ for a chance to win coveted national prizes including a premium gaming laptop and a 3D printer for children.

In the spirit of the holidays and to encourage families to give back to their local communities, participating Code Ninjas centres will accept donations for Toys for Tots and other charities.

“We are thrilled to bring together the giving spirit of the holidays, awareness for computer science education and the fun of Code Ninjas under one roof,” said David Graham, Co-Founder and CEO of Code Ninjas. “This is a unique opportunity to help bring communities together and create a rewarding experience for everyone involved.”

Code Ninjas teaches children ages 7–14 to code by building their own video games in a fun, safe, and inspiring environment. With a robust, nine-belt curriculum inspired by martial arts, Code Ninjas keeps kids engaged, while parents see their children gain life-changing STEM skills.
