Melbourne, Florida April 30, 2018 — The Codecraft Foundation hosted its third annual Codecraft Computer Programming Competition (CCPC) award ceremony at Groundswell Startups in Melbourne for 200+ families on Friday evening. This competition brings together industry professionals from local high-tech companies to showcase the ability of students who participate in Codecraft programs to apply real-world STEM skills learned and how their work is applied beyond the classroom.

During the 2018 school year, more than 400 primary and secondary school-aged students across the state of Florida participated in 4 technical courses; Intro to Computer Science and Engineering, Game Development, Web Development, and Python Programming. Sustaining sponsors of the Codecraft Foundation include Rockwell Collins, IBM, Northrop Grumman, and Embraer Foundation helped to provide financial-need based access to interested participants. Students participate in weekly programs, both in-person and virtually, working to design, develop and polish a final program or application.
