The iHub #5YrCodeJam Challenge


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.
