ICode Global Hackathon 2025

The ICode Global Hackathon 2025 marks the 9th edition of the world’s largest K–12 coding competition, organized by the ICode Foundation. This year, the event is set to engage over 3 million students from more than 75 countries, including participants from regions such as the USA, UK, Africa, and India.

The competition is structured into multiple rounds, beginning with qualifiers from April 21 to July 15, 2024, followed by national finals on September 21, 2024. The global finals are scheduled for October 5, 2024.
