Community Update: September/October 2023 computer programming contest winners
Wham! Pow! Just like a superhero discovering their powers, I've stumbled upon my childhood comic collection. My dad, the unsung hero, safeguarded it, hoping it'd be a goldmine (spoiler: it's not).
Now, I'm donning my cape to announce our latest computer programming contest, "Comic Strips". Contestants were given the mission impossible: to code a comic-themed program.
And boy, did they deliver! Our winners' creations were as dynamic as a superhero landing - creative, innovative, and packed with humor.
Why these contests, you ask? 🤔
Every two months, our Challenge Council, the Avengers of Khan Academy, organizes a themed programming contest. It's a stage for our community of code wizards to flaunt their creativity and skills.
In our last contest, participants were asked to code a fresh perspective on geography. One winner, with their CSS mastery, created a stunning tour of Salalah, complete with snazzy UI components.
Without further ado, here are our champions.
