DAY ONE:
C SPIRE C3 JR.CODING CHALLENGE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2024
The C Spire C3 Jr. event is an invitation only that includes elementary age students from schools and organizations across the state. These students will be challenged to use their technical abilities and critical thinking skills to navigate through obstacles. Our hope is to inspire children to pursue an academic and career path that includes information technology and computer science.
Twenty-two teams from across the state have been invited to the Mississippi Children’s Museum in Jackson and Meridian to
participate in C3 Jr, a coding challenge uniquely designed for elementary age students. Teams comprised of four fourth grade
students will be guided through coding challenges by a C Spire Mentor, treated to lunch compliments of C Spire, and participate
in an awards ceremony at the conclusion of the challenge.
