Once again, the time has come to take out your pencil case! From January 26 to February 1, Codelearn will be hosting the 4th edition of the Codelearn Drawing Contest, our annual activity in which both students and teachers can showcase their artistic skills and creativity in a field beyond programming.
The theme of the contest is our school of programming, robotics, and computational thinking, so all drawings must revolve around Codelearn’s afterschool program. Participants may draw the original characters or invent new ones, create comic-style adventures like those found on the platform, depict the learning spaces at our centers, or portray the people who are part of them. The only rule is that all drawings must be original, created by the person submitting them, and must be hand-drawn (with the exception of the digital drawing category). Therefore, drawings must be scanned or photographed in order to be submitted to the contest.
All Codelearn students and teachers may participate in the 2026 Drawing Contest. To do so, each participant must submit their drawing through the dedicated section that will be available on the platform during the participation period, which will open on Monday, January 26, and close on Sunday, February 1. Within this section, everyone will be able to view and vote for the drawings submitted by other participants. Afterwards, the Codelearn jury will evaluate the originality, quality, and technical execution of the entries in order to select one overall winner per category.
There will be five categories:
– Up to 8 years old
– Ages 9 to 10
– Ages 11 to 12
– Ages 13 and up (including teachers)
– Digital drawing category for all ages (use of AI is permitted)
The overall winner in each category will receive 5,000 points on the platform and a drawing kit. These winners will be announced the following week via social media. In addition, each center may also select its own winners, who will receive 2,500 points.
Are you ready to let your imagination run wild and turn the Codelearn platform into a true art gallery? Get your pencils and colors ready to bring your ideas to life, and do your best to impress the jury with your finest drawings.
Good luck to everyone!
