2024 Hawks x Microsoft Coded Dunk Challenge 8.jpg

The Atlanta Hawks and Microsoft announced Thursday the launch of the second annual Coded Dunk Challenge, an innovative coding competition designed to enhance youth’s knowledge of technology, spark their interest in computer science, and introduce them to rewarding career paths and opportunities in STEM fields. 

The organizations teamed up with Fair Chance Learning, a company that curates best-in-class educational programs to elevate students’ learning, to provide students ages 11 through 18 an opportunity to create unique on-screen basketball dunks through the use of code. Youth from the state of Georgia are encouraged to participate in the competition. Entries will be accepted through March 18.
