Microsoft Invites Students To The “Break Into Code” Challenge

Become a Technology Creator!

You know those games and apps you use on your phone every day? Somebody made those – and it could be somebody like you! With free software and tutorials from Microsoft Imagine, a Microsoft YouthSpark program, students ages 9-18 worldwide can learn to code their first game in about an hour and then dive deeper to personalize it, remix it, change it up however they want. Finally with our new Break into Code! contest students can submit their finished games to compete for a total of $12,000 (USD) in cash prizes!

This is just the first in a new series of contests from Microsoft Imagine that give students like you the opportunity to learn coding, make great games and apps you can share with your friends, and unleash your ideas and your creativity. Become a technology creator today and Break Into Code!
