Youth Coding League teams come together this week for Sprint 2 to learn loops in the middle school division and conditionals in the junior high division, while the YCL's scoring team looks at every project submitted for Sprint 1 to determine where those coders and teams will rank on the leaderboards. Sprint 1 scores go live on Friday, stay tuned to see how coders did in their very first sprint of the Fall '22 regular season, and find out more about what coders are learning each week here: https://www.youthcodingleague.com/schedule

If you want to come out on top, you have to understand the field. Sprint 1 spans 2 weeks, and it's the only sprint that lasts longer than a week to give coders the chance to immerse themselves in the regular season's competitive element.

Learning to code in a creative way: that's what the Youth Coding League's regular season is all about. This Fall, 5th and 6th graders in the middle school division will tackle the basics of computer science in the Music & Sound curriculum, while 7th and 8th graders in the junior high division will build a new skill set through the Friends curriculum.
