On 10th March we had a team of 2 take part in the Reply Challenges (James & Esaias).
The 4hr coding and problem solving competition was open to 14-19 globally with teams participating from all over the world.
The competition consisted of 5 maths and logic problems that required algorithms to be written to solve them and specific test cases to be proved.
There were 1150 active teams taking part with up to 4 nominated coders taking part in each team.
Of the 1150 teams only 412 teams scored any points and The Vale finished 145th Globally with 1150 points.
For a team of two this was an excellent achievement and they showed excellent skills and resilience in completing the challenges.
