About this opportunity
CodeQuest is Kr8ivity League's national block-based coding competition for students in Grades 4 and 5, challenging them to design coding projects that solve real-world problems using platforms such as Scratch, Microsoft MakeCode, or MIT App Inventor.
Teams of up to three students choose one official theme, NextGen School Solutions, Viksit Bharat, or Healthy India, and build an original block-based coding project addressing it. The competition runs through four stages: an online mentoring session, an ideation round in which every team advances, a virtual zonal round where completed projects are judged, and a national finale.
Participants develop computational thinking, problem-solving, and presentation skills while building their first coding project. Zonal winners advance to the Grand Finale, held in person at IIT Delhi, where they compete for national recognition.
Rounds and format
The competition runs in four stages: an online mentoring session on themes and guidelines, an Ideation round where every team submits a project idea and advances, a Zonal round where teams submit their completed project (synopsis, code file, and presentation video) for judging, and a National Finale where zonal qualifiers present live at IIT Delhi.
How entries are judged
Scored out of 100: problem understanding (10), logic and coding (20), functionality (20), creativity (15), user interface (10), features and complexity (10), and presentation (15).
Selection process
The top 20% of teams from each zone qualify for the National Finale, based on their Zonal round score.
Academic details
Difficulty: Beginner
What's covered
Students apply block-based coding fundamentals, sequences, loops, conditions, and variables, to a real-world themed project, then practice presenting their solution to a judging panel.
Frequently asked questions
What platforms can students use to build their CodeQuest project?
Students may use Scratch, Microsoft MakeCode, Raise Playground, MIT App Inventor, Blockly, Code.org, or any other block-based coding platform.
How are CodeQuest projects judged?
Projects are scored out of 100 across problem understanding, logic and coding, functionality, creativity, user interface, features and complexity, and presentation.
What happens at the Grand Finale?
Teams that qualify from the Zonal round present their projects live at IIT Delhi before an expert judging panel for the National Championship.
