Kids don’t always make the best decisions, as parents we know that. They’re more likely to act than to think through the options and consider important factors. However, making good decisions is a building block for success, even at a young age. So, it benefits kids to build and practice the related skills early and often.
If we want kids to think for themselves and make good decisions, they need the opportunity to practice their logical reasoning skills. This involves arriving at the best conclusion using a given set of criteria. Logical reasoning is rarely taught alone rather, kids get these skills from other subjects like coding, math, and science. Kids need more ways to hone and master their logical thinking.
That’s why we’re bringing you the 6th Annual CodeWizardsHQ Logic Challenge (Spring Semester).
The Spring 2025 Logic Challenge starts on February 24, register to join!
It’s a FREE nationwide competition where students, between the ages of 8-18, solve engaging logic puzzles, develop problem-solving skills, and win exciting tech prizes.
The event is a fun and rewarding way for young minds to develop valuable 21st-century skills, preparing them for success in a digital world.
Students will complete 10 puzzles in total, one a week from February 24th to May 4th, 2025. Throughout the 10 weeks, participants will tackle a range of enriching challenges tailored to their age group—Elementary, Middle, or High School level.
Kids Learn 21st-Century Skills
While completing these fun weekly challenges, students will learn to think like a programmer and build important 21st-century skills like:
- Problem Decomposition – Breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts.
- Pattern Recognition – Identifying trends and patterns that aid in problem-solving.
- Abstraction – Simplifying complex systems by reducing the problem to its core components.
- Algorithmic Thinking – Developing step-by-step instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task.
- Sequencing – Determining the correct order of steps in a problem-solving process.
- Logical Reasoning – Using rational thinking and systematic principles to arrive at a logical conclusion or solve a problem.
A Chance to Win Top Tech Prizes
Besides the skills they gain, every participant has a chance to win top tech prizes including Apple Airpods Pro, Nintendo Switch, GoPro Mini, and more. With each challenge kids complete, they’ll earn points and bonuses bringing them closer to these rewards.
