FCT’s Coding Fest first edition, an FCT NOVA initiative inserted in the Portuguese Code Movement of the Secretary of State for Science and Higher Education, will be held next November 26th, with the support of the Directorate-General for Education and counts also with the involvement of “Ciência Viva” (National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture).
This new initiative aims to bring together students, teachers, schools and society around the scientific and technological world of computing, leading to an increasingly relevant and omnipresent knowledge that is configured as a new Universal literacy for the 21st century.
The initiative is aligned with the global "Code Hour" movement, which already reaches tens of millions of students in more than 180 countries and now arrives at FCT NOVA through the Department of Informatics and NOVA LINCS.
