2024-12-03

Satellite, FL – Codecraft Works, an educational technology developer and world-class training partner, wrapped up the most recent Codecraft Computer Programming Competition (CCPC) as part of Brevard Schools’ Innovation Games ⎋. Using the CCPC framework ⎋, which leverages Codecraft Works’ browser-based programming environments, Codecraft effectively hosts, processes, and evaluates entries from our local students.

In the coding competition, elementary students created projects using the Scratch programming platform, middle school competitors created web projects using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and high school students created autonomous game scripts in Python.

Check out the winning projects from our Scratch and Web competitors!

Elementary Scratch Winners:

• 1st place from Ocean Breeze Elementary ⎋

• 2nd place from Ocean Breeze Elementary ⎋

Middle School Web Winners:

High school competition entries were written in the Python programming language in Codecraft Works’ game programming environment. Competitors created tic-tac-toe scripts to be run in a bracketed tournament. Multiple games of tic-tac-toe were played per matchup, and winners advanced through the bracket. Congratulations to our first and second place winners from Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy!
