FAQ
Yes, Lyza Summer Edtech Quest is designed for students who have prior experience in CodeLab, Scratch, Python, or App Inventor. The questions and challenges are tailored to these platforms.
Just enthusiasm and readiness to code! We provide all necessary equipment and materials.
We use our ACES Framework to assess each student’s understanding, critical thinking, engagement, and skill application.
Top-performing students will be invited to participate in the Lyza Summer Edtech Quest.
No, training is not provided, as students who have completed the Lyza Young Coders or Coders program will already have the foundational skills needed for the Lyza Summer Edtech Quest. Our curriculum equips them with the coding knowledge and problem-solving skills essential for this competition.
During the event, our teachers will be present as invigilators to support students if they encounter technical difficulties with the coding challenges. However, they will not provide answers, as the goal is to encourage independent problem-solving and critical thinking among participants. This approach ensures students have a fair chance to demonstrate their coding abilities.
Yes, all participants will receive a sample paper with complete solutions upon registration. This sample paper is designed to help students prepare effectively for Lyza Summer Edtech Quest. We encourage students to attempt the questions independently before reviewing the solutions to strengthen their skills and boost confidence.
Current Lyza Education students can also reach out to their teachers if they have any questions about the sample paper. This additional support helps ensure students feel well-prepared and ready for the competition.
