Challenges
Below are all the challenges you can complete for points. The challenges are worth their level in points. If the challenge is something you can repeat with new content, you are allowed to create it again for points. Also, you can choose to submit other items you feel should be worth points from things you learned at Tech Share Day, other professional developments, or new resources you are trying. If you do, make sure you include why you feel it should be worth the level you chose.
