Codebit challenge

well, more like a poll

Yeah, I was going to suggest you do a poll. I think it’s a good idea, of course you’d have to wait until you get some code posted here first :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah I was not quite sure if I should because like I said:

Maybe you should do a poll about whether you should make a poll or not :wink:

Should I use a poll for the codebit challenge answers?

  • Yes
  • No

I moved your poll to this topic. Why’d you make a whole new one, when you’ve got a perfectly fine one here? :stuck_out_tongue:

Good idea. I had not thought of that.

yeah, I closed the other one and put a link from there to here.

people say yes(or at least seven)!!!

Closing voting on February 15! :wink: (hint, hint) Which means that you should vote now!!!

Just a reminder that the poll closes in fourteen days.

Please when you have an entry just post the link.

Just wanted to say so you have some warning the polls for the whole codebit contest will only be open one week.

Just my 2¢, I’d love to have us make challenges a thing again - random problems to chew on are a great way for learners to stay active and engaged, retaining what they’ve learned.

Not that these are mutually exclusive, but I was personally thinking of challenges more along the lines of “write a function that removes the vowels from the following sentence” than a “what’s the coolest thing you can make?” They’d be the type of thing one could chew on and then solve in a couple of hours rather than a big undertaking like a massive project. We (I) can then promote this on social media, directing users here, and making it more of “a thing.” @kyleaw what do you think? I saw you post about this not too long ago. :slight_smile:

I agree with @mtf with the codebits idea - keeps things familiar and on-platform which may lend itself to higher levels of participation… “superior” though codepen may be.

Yeah I thought about those but deiced I’ll just do this once a year and have small challenges in between.

Could be a particularly good thing to do for the summer when people tend to take their foot off the gas a bit.

yeah that is very true. Its just I got really excited about it and wanted to do it right away. Maybe next year the contest will be in the summer.

That’s not to say that this shouldn’t be done now or that we couldn’t have another one in the summer! I’d say trying it now makes it easier to iterate upon for a summer version. :slight_smile:

yeah but it probably would easier for some people in the summer (I’m home schooled).
