Department of Computer Science to Host Inaugural NextGen Coding Challenge - March 7

NextGen Coding Challenge

Friday, March 7 | 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Warner Robins Campus

MGA's School of Computing, Department of Computer Scence is thrilled to invite high school students to showcase their programming prowess in an exciting Python coding competition! Taking place on Friday, March 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Warner Robins Campus, this event offers a unique opportunity for aspiring developers to collaborate, solve complex challenges, and experience a collegiate environment dedicated to innovation in computing.

Teams of two to four students will tackle a series of engaging Python programming challenges, each designed to test and enhance their problem-solving skills and coding expertise. Throughout two to three challenge blocks, participants will create code solutions that may include developing functions, crafting short code sequences, or even building object-oriented classes. Teams may bring laptops to work on challenges.

After each challenge block, teams will have the chance to present and discuss their solutions with our panel of judges, gaining valuable feedback and insight from computing professionals and faculty.

This challenge offers an opportunity to collaborate, learn, and compete in modern software engineering under the guidance of MGA professionals, with a chance to win prizes!

Thanks to generous donors, registration is now free, and lunch and T-shirts will be provided. Register your team here.
