Overview

It is with immense pleasure that Oakridge International School announces the Oak Codefest, a programming competition that will be held on the 18th and 19th of January, 2020.

We strive to develop a platform for students of ever-increasing technical caliber from the secondary segment to mould and showcase their skills to the world. The selected themes are of significant domestic and global importance, and all these developers would be working towards solutions to real-world problems. Throughout the event, they would be collaborating and growing to attain that goal. Given that this is no easy task, the Codefest will be held for 24 hours, over the span of the entire night until the following day. The entire experience intends to be as rich, fulfilling and remarkable as possible, and I sincerely hope you will encourage your students to be a part of it.
