The 2022 CodeZone Challenge was devoid of a theme that year, but not devoid of excitement. The students had roughly 3 hours to solve 40 questions, with a break midway for snacks. In the final 30 minutes teams "Wired Warriors" and "Ctrl + Esc" fought for 1st place, where the competition ended with a 1 point difference between the teams. Students then enjoyed a speech by Jacklyn Reh who delivered a speech about working a Cybersecurity Job.
This year hosted 42 participants from 5 different schools, including 6 advanced teams and 7 novice teams. It took place on May 14th from 1pm-5pm.
