Since the start of the Youth Coding League in 2018, the Fall 2022 season is going to be the biggest season of competition yet, with three brand new states joining the roster (welcome, Florida, Minnesota, and New Mexico!) and strong team presences in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Vermont.

It’s going to be a great season, and we are so proud of the coders who have joined Youth Coding League teams to learn the basics of computer science, of their teachers who are guiding them through the season and making sure they’re set up for success, and of their school, organization, and communities who know how critically important computer science skills are to their students.
