Guyana Coding League

Scratch, AI, and competition for young builders.

K12 Youth Code helps students learn computational thinking through weekly challenges, creative projects, teamwork, and judge-reviewed submissions.

Flexible Competition Model

Run a season-long league or a stand-alone event.

The platform should support school, local, regional, national, and international competitions. Organizers can run one connected season across all levels or create independent events with their own teams, judges, rubrics, and awards.

Weekly challenges

Students receive themed Scratch and AI prompts with clear deadlines, judging windows, and leaderboard updates.

Team pathways

Schools, clubs, after-school programs, and homeschool groups can create teams and invite coaches.

Judge review

Rubric-based scoring keeps human judges in control while AI provides draft feedback and evidence.

Advancement

Winners can move from local events into regional, national, and international showcases.

Scratch + AI

Teach students how AI works by connecting it to code they can see.

01

Create

Students build Scratch projects and learn how instructions, events, variables, and logic shape behavior.

02

Explain

Students submit their `.sb3` project file, Scratch project link, and a video walkthrough explaining design choices.

03

Review

AI reads project structure and video evidence against the rubric, then a judge approves or adjusts the score.

For Students

Build games, animations, stories, and AI-enhanced projects. Submit the Scratch file so judges can understand the code behind the final presentation.

For Coaches

Manage teams, verify student eligibility, monitor submissions, and guide students through weekly learning goals.

For Judges

Review submissions with a consistent rubric, see AI-generated draft feedback, and keep final scoring under human approval.

For Sponsors

Support a national pathway for youth technology skills, school engagement, and future-ready AI literacy.

Submission Upgrade

Students should upload their Scratch code, not only a YouTube link.

The rebuilt registration app should accept a Scratch project URL, a `.sb3` file upload, and a video link. Clear instructions should show students how to download their Scratch project file.

  1. Open the project in Scratch.
  2. Choose File, then Save to your computer.
  3. Upload the downloaded .sb3 file with the video link.
