CONTEST RULES
A. Purpose
The purpose of this contest announced for young coders and school students with advanced knowledge in the natural sciences is:
To discover talents and give them the opportunity to develop their abilities.
To discover and encourage schools and teachers who demonstrate active engagement.
To promote creative and innovative thinking.
To develop cooperation and teamwork.
To foster students' logical thinking and cognitive development.
Բ. Description
The «Aylagir» contest supports project-based learning aligned with the general education curriculum, giving students the opportunity—in teams and with teacher support—to pose and solve fundamental problems using programming tools. In the contest, programming is treated not as an end in itself but as an effective means of solving diverse fundamental problems.
Գ. Who can participate
School students,
Students of secondary vocational education institutions (colleges, vocational schools).
Դ. Which programs should be used to code
Snap
Python/«Python»
Ե. What needs to be done
Register for participation preliminary application.
Develop the project and create the project slide deck.
Confirm the completed work by submitting the final application.
Զ. How to register
Snap for participation in Snap and Python preliminary you register the application using the same form: here։
Է. Stages of the contest
Until August 31 | Until September 7 | September 19 |
Preliminary application stage | Preliminary round | Final round |
Confirmation of participation applications | Confirmation of works | Announcement of finalists |
After confirmation of preliminary-round applications, works will be reviewed in the preliminary committee's side. Committee members will not see participants' personal data and evaluation will be based solely on the completed work. Evaluation will be carried out using a rubric. | ||
Final day of the contest: October 04 |
