Codeavour is an international online AI and coding competition for kids being hosted by STEMpedia annually to encourage them to bring out their inner coders and make innovative projects.

The aim of this international competition for kids is to encourage kids to develop an interest in STEM, especially programming, and develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication – the four C’s of 21st-century skills while also bringing solutions to real-world problems.

In Codeavour 2021, there are more than 80 prizes in a total worth of $15,000. Learn more about it HERE.
