Bring back JS contests!

i agree

I think this would be a great thing to bring back to Khan Academy.

I definitely support this idea!

I agree.  I never got to enter in a contest and would love to have a Golden Winston :)

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Count me in.

defintally

I think that's a great idea! It would really elevate the quality of the Hot List and push programmers to improve their coding skills!

I totally agree, it's just the Computing section is no longer looked after by the Computing Lead (AKA Pamela)... so little is going to happen for a while. That's why I hope to take on her torch someday and start where she left off. Many things would be improved: new contests would be held, new badges, new courses, a whole lot would be better. ;)

To close, I hope your post gets lots of attention Legolas, I'm always in support of ideas like these. =)

I think that is a GREAT IDEA! Only I wouldn't be able to participate in them ;)

I support this wholeheartedly, however, as of right now I don't believe KA has hired any full-time staff - staff that are required if contests are to be made again. I don't think KA has shown any signs of hiring right now, either. I'm not a staff member, though, so my opinion doesn't matter as much as one of theirs.

#Agreed

Contests, or, Khantests are one of my favorite things to do on KA! Or at least they were. User-made contests are just not the same. I've always wanted a Golden Winston! xD

JavaScript Contests are also great ways to learn coding. We should even bring back the Summer of Scripting! :)

Yesss this would be great if added back

Great idea! That would be awesome!

I also support bringing back contests!  Contests are a fun way to learn and build JS skills and I am sure the Khan users would benefit greatly from them.  I have never gotten to compete in them, but I have entered a few contests created by users and had a lot of fun and learned quite a bit from it.

Thank you Legolas for asking for this!  

Yes, this is very much needed. Especially on the advanced javascript, there are no videos! If you could work on more javascript then that would be helpful to millions of people who do khan academy.

Hi Legolas,
I voted your idea up I definitely agree and hope this will be continued unfortunately I joined at a time when Pamela wasn't present now just to reassure everyone without going into many details Pamela is doing really well and is happy in fact she has major role now and is making quite a difference in the lives of others she is continuously inspiring and making a difference wherever she goes😉.

And Jett that is definitely a wonderful dream and goal I think others would benefit from your lessons being taught.

As always to everyone here 😀 I can't guarantee this idea will be implemented but the Khan Academy Support Team appreciates hearing Feedback and ideas. Thanks for making Khan Academy Zendesk Community a fun and positive place to learn!

I totally agree!

Yes, I have never got a chance to do a contest 

I love this idea! I never got the chance to even participate in those contests because I wasn't on KA at the time. Hope the contests come back! :D

I totally Agree

This is a Great Idea

it would actually make the Golden Winston an achievable badge again

I agree! i would like contests to be back but i don't think people have time to do them. I mean, Pamela was in charge of just that!

I agree 100%

Jett Burns would be a great fit for this spot.

Agreed!

I think a lot of people would love to compete for the Golden Winston

( Including me :P )

I agree! Golden Winstons are a really good initiative. I mean, nobody really wants a subscription page link that bad.

Yes! Please do :D

Yeah! It would be cool to have an opportunity to get a Golden Winston Badge! I have seem a lot of people with them, but no one can get them any more.

Yes so it is fair and fun for coders of all skill levels as well!

I think this a great idea and I support, because many people haven't even got to participate in the contests, and now people might be able to see there true potential.

This would really help us learn about how to do new and different types of projects. Because of the competition many of us would really put in lots of effort and discover new skills in coding.
