SciCodeJam, wow! Its
been surreal. Being part of an awesome team that wants to help
everyone become passionate about what they love doing, coding, has
been inspirational. Humble beginnings, until we met Angani
and boy did we soar. iHub
was celebrating five years of success and we offered to make the day
interesting.
Together with
Angani
and iHub,
we initiated a programming contest, the 5yearCodeJam.
The contest took 48 hours, during which the contestants were to
answer two questions using any programming language of their choice.
The contestants were then required to submit their code either
through email or their Github
accounts together with their answers. We evaluated the code and I
gotta say, competition was stiff. Out of 139 sign-ups 23 submitted
their responses within the allocated time. We had 5 finalists
out of which we got the Queen
and King
of code. There the finalists were all awarded prizes at iHub's
five year party. The prizes were courtesy of Angani
.
This is just the
beginning, stay tuned for more.
