The Lt. Gov Computing Challenge - "Coding for Good" launches on January 25, 2021. There will be three challenges of which students can choose one to participate in. Each challenge requires a variety of artifacts for submission. The Challenge planning team is seeking educators who are interested in developing the writing prompts for each challenge, creating rubrics, reviewing/evaluating submissions or recording videos to assist the students in the process. Stipends are available. Please fill out the form at your earliest convenience so that we can get the details out to students in a timely manner.
