INTRODUCTION:

Computer programming has proven to be an invaluable skill for students to have in this day and age. Therefore, it is important to develop programming expertise from a young age. The Global Youth Coding Cup (GYCC) aims to provide elementary and secondary school students with a fun computer programming contest to showcase and hone their skills. The GYCC is organized by Canada Youth Robotics Club and the Math and Science Association of Canada.

We foster an exciting and competitive environment for young students to learn and test their programming knowledge and skills.
