The EAEF Coding Contest

---

One of the most popular programs in the Ephrata Area School District, The Ephrata Area Education Foundation Coding Contest challenges students K-8 grade to create a computer program using code. They can make a game, an app, or another project that involves coding skills. Kids learn presentation skills, as they are asked to present their program to a group of judges, problem solving skills to figure out an issue and fix it, and team work if they are working with a group of two or three.
