We believe that competition scales very well and we consider competitive programming to be a very good way to reach out and promote programming amongst students as it has certain advantages over other traditional methods. It teaches a student to write code adhering to specifications.

It enforces one to write code optimised for time as well as memory.

It helps learn faster.

It scales better.

This initiative, aims to make it easier for students to start coding at a young age.

Coding is one of those few essential skills that help a student to learn and enhance multiple abilities including problem-solving, logic building, creativity and many others. With a similar concern, the leading tech giant Google has also launched the Code to Learn Contest 2021- for class 05-12 students with a vision of building a stronger foundation for computer science in the country. The contest is open for the students in classes 05 to 12 enrolled at any school in India. The students will compete in five class groups: Group 1: Classes 5 and 6; Group 2: Classes 7 and 8; Group 3: Classes 9 and 10; Group 4: Classes 9 and 10; Group 5: Classes 11 and 12.

A panel of judges will select up to 10 finalists from each class group. All the 10 finalists from each class group will go through a second round of judging to select up to 5 winners from each class group. Results were declared on 21 Jan 2022. I am gland to inform that Jaivant from our School stood as winner from group 1 (class 5 and 6).

We are very proud to share the achievement of Jaivant of Grade 6 of Vydehi School of Excellence, has developed a game depicting ‘a volunteer collecting excess food from donors and sharing it with the needy’ using MIT Scratch. The indentation of the game is to educate on not wasting food in first place and donate food to needy in case of excess.
