About Call for Code Education Innovation Case Competition 2021

This is a competition that gives both non-technical and technical teams around the world an opportunity to devise innovative solutions that address the challenge of making quality education a right for all – not a privilege.

The competition theme is, “A future of education that ensures accessible and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all,” inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4. Your solution should address the diverse challenges aligned to this theme and demonstrate how technology can help communities in need around the world. While solution submissions do not need to include working code, they must describe the technologies required and how those technologies fit into the solution.

Who can participate

Participants must be 18 years old or have reached the age of emancipation in the jurisdiction in which they are submitting their project, whichever is greater.

Teams of up to five individuals are allowed.
