Q: How difficult are the challenges?
A: We have created challenges for all skill sets, as long as you have tried coding in Python before. Easier challenges are marked [E], while harder challenges designed for around Year 11 and above are marked [H]. You do not need to try all the challenges.
You do NOT participate for the whole 24 hours! You are welcome to try the challenges at any point during the competition period. We suggest spending around 1-2 hours overall.
Please complete the challenges using your existing knowledge! We suggest you do not search up solutions. (You may, however, want to look up certain functions if you are already aware of the libraries you require)
Here is a challenge from Annushka and Andrea’s previous coding competition, the KLASS Coding Comp, open to KLASS students last year. This is of a similar level to the [E] challenges in the upcoming Kode for Kindness. Try it out!
