Mandoulides Schools have organized the very successful educational program “Mandoulides Computer Hackathlon” since 2012. The idea is simple and at the same time impressive. Each student will have to "break" secret codes and navigate from level to level on our specially designed websites.
To achieve this, he/she has to solve mathematical and other kinds of puzzles, look for information, process diagrams, explore maps, and so on. In Hackathlon, therefore, students play by learning and learn by playing!
For all the above reasons, during the current school year, the program expands and becomes a Student Competition with the participation of public and private Greek schools.
The competition is open to students of 4th up until 9th Grade and it is carried out with permission from the Ministry of Education (Φ15/216750/Δ2/08-12-2017).
HOW WILL THE COMPETITION TAKE PLACE?
1st Phase: February, 10 - 25
The students can play anytime, anywhere they wish to. They have to navigate through 50 different levels within 1 hour and are allowed to perform up to three attempts.
The attempt with the best performance is the one that will provide them with a ticket to the final.
2nd Phase: Saturday, March 10
Students have to go to certified test centers and again navigate through 50 different levels within 1 hour.
From each class:
- The 100 students who had the best performance in the 1st phase will compete.
- The top three students with the highest performance will be awarded.
