Well that's https://t.co/rcARZR1ZeL for another year! 620 participants from 69 schools completed up to 10 programming challenges over the past two weeks. See you in March 2024 for the next one! #compsci #igcse #ib #programming #python

Happy coding! Sign up at https://t.co/zU6ZczrLB5 ! #coding #competition #schools #computerscience

Coding Quest 2023 is coming soon! 10 days of problems from Monday 6 March to Friday 17 March. Designed for Secondary school Computer Science curricula such as GCSE, A Levels and IB Diploma. Over 30 schools participated last year!

Recommended teachers register their school prior to promotion so students can join the school team when they sign up. Promotional poster here: https://t.co/2gIFldTUQS

@eslweb Have you tried Stable Diffusion? Just as impressive and available for local installation.

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

@eslweb Definitely not the left (it doesn't even close the file)! The right is much better (always use the 'with' block!), though without being given the structure file the question refers to I may want to revise how the file content is being parsed.

@tripperhead Thank you for all you do Aaron! This worked. I knew if the answer was anywhere, it would be in your twitter feed!💪🙏

@hogesonline Railway junctions or freeway interchanges. Everyone starts from the same point, and through a set of split points can end up in dozens of different end points.

@AlSweigart Last I checked the Python that ships for Raspberry Pi OS was still only 3.5. It would be helpful if PyAutoGui still worked out with the Pi default.

@jpedrodias Thank you 😄 very kind. I've been thrilled with the response to codingquest! It's exciting to see so many students coming together and challenging their CS skills.

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

https://t.co/rcARZQJQ0D statistics for week 1. 248 people have completed at least 1 challenge representing 31 different schools. Per-problem completion: Engine diagnostics 207; Lottery tickets 195; Tour the stars 154; Connect-4 73; Spot the forgery 65. Bring on week two!

@LegoJames I'm running an event right now! Day 4 of 10 for https://t.co/rcARZQJQ0D. Almost 50 schools taking part 😁

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

One week until the start of https://t.co/rcARZQJQ0D! 10 days of computer science problems for secondary students. #computerscience

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

Only 3 weeks until the inaugural https://t.co/rcARZQJQ0D starts! 28 schools have registered so far. Is yours one of them? #compsci #teachers #computerscience #programming

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

A great introduction to some common machine learning algorithms.

[James Abela @eslweb]

Excellent article on machine learning algorithms

Time to share a project I have been working on for a few months... https://t.co/rcARZQJQ0D! 1/5 #computerscience #programming #teachers #competition

[Paul Baumgarten @pbaumgarten]

If interested, I suggest teachers sign-in to register their school prior to promoting with students, so the school team will be listed and available for students to join when they sign up. The problems from a recent test event also remain open for people to use as practice. 4/5
