Year 12 students from Garden International created an incredible competition to honour the contributions women have made in the field of Computer Science. Avantika, Avin, Chloe & Rheya crafted a competition using the same platform that Microsoft uses to hire their computer engineers to engage students in a completely online event. During the weekend students from all over South East Asia and as far away as Tunisia and Germany wrote 580 programs that really showed their passion for coding. All of the students deserve much credit for participating and doing incredibly well.

In Keystage 3 special mentions go to: Ming Yao Mac, GyoChan, Sudyut Das, Vyom Billawa, Ayush Tad, Vignesh Kalahasthi & Adithya Rajesh.

• In third place was Swetha Jayaprasad Rao
• In second place was Elisa Campling, Hamsika Peddala and Irene Minzateanu-Calvo from St Georges’s school, Munich
• In first place was Carmella Abela from Garden International School.

In the senior (Keystages 4 & 5) category special mentions go to: Phong Nguyen, Se Young Kong, Vi Tri Khuu, Andrea Lee, Annushka Arun, Aryaman Saini, Jack Nguyen, Phi Phi Leung & Khoi Deong.

All three of the finalists managed to beat all changes and so a tie-breaker had to be used.

• In third place was Sonny Ku, Chun Nan Tan, Han Xheng Chew and Maximus Abela from Garden International.
• In second place was Eugene Hwang from Alice Smith school
• In first place was Vince Tiu, Dylan Tiu & Gabbie Tiu from British school Manila.
