A number of our Year 6 students took part in the Digital Summit today. This inter-school coding competition was hosted virtually for the first time, and brought together students from a number of schools across Abu Dhabi and Dubai to test their coding skills against one another.

Students were challenged to design a computer game to raise awareness of current environmental issues such as water pollution and plastic waste. After designing and building their game, our teams delivered a presentation to the judges in which they explained their concept and process.

The competition provided our students with the opportunity to work collaboratively and apply their coding skills to solve real-world problems. More than this though, it was just good fun and the students enjoyed the experience immensely.

Adithya and Oliva from Year 6A created a game with the aim to get your fish to his beloved wife fish in the corner, while avoiding the plastic pollution. Click here to see their game.

Imad and Rania from Year 6D created a game to use the left and right arrows to collect the falling trash. Click here to see their game.

Sami and Jade from Year 6C created a game where the user collects plastic water pollution. Click here to see their game.

We eagerly await the results!
