HPE CodeWars 2022 aims to inspire, motivate and engage students to learn to code and find innovative solutions to real-life issues.
Vivek Prakash, Co-founder, and CEO of Codingal said, “We are delighted to partner with HPE for the second time in a row to organize the CodeWars India Edition, with a common goal of introducing students to Coding and making them realize the opportunities that lie ahead of them. Tomorrow’s world will be increasingly driven through advancements in technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and Blockchain etc, and some of the best future career opportunities will be around developing and using these technologies to solve problems. We therefore believe that a basic understanding of computer sciences is a must for each school going student.”
Cynthia Srinivas, VP-Engineering, Compute Business Group; India site R&D leader HPE said, “CodeWars is our effort to encourage and motivate students to learn computer science by introducing them to real-life applications. This event is also aligned with HPE’s commitment to technology being an enabler and a force for good, and we are thrilled that the top six winners will get this once in a lifetime opportunity to run their experiments on HPE’s Spaceborne Computer-2. We are excited to give Indian high school students an opportunity to showcase their coding skills.”
HPE CodeWars is a computer programming competition with the intent to evangelize coding amongst High School Students. Started in 1998, CodeWars has since expanded to multiple countries including USA, Spain, Taiwan, and India.
