Game of Codes is back with Technocamps pan-Wales National Game of Codes Programming Competition. The competition will enable interested pupils to develop their problem solving, communication, and teamwork skills while improving their knowledge of computer programming in a fun and inventive way.

The challenge is to create a piece of software using Sport and Health as the theme.  Examples could include games to teach the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, apps to help people with their well-being, Scratch games to teach the impact of exercise on the body, or something that helps us learn about healthy eating in a fun new way.  You could even focus on the Rugby World Cup 2023 or the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris in 2024, if you wish.
