As the 2015 Pearson Student Coding Contest entry deadline draws near (tomorrow night at Midnight MST), I find myself wishing as an employee that I could join the contest. I have cool ideas for learning apps too!
Quickly coming to a close this week, the 2015 Pearson Student Coding Contest will award Acclaim participant badges to all entrants whose idea submissions are accepted! And those who take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will receive special individualized Acclaim digital badges.

Unlike many other holidays, which focus on commercialism, Halloween challenges folks to come up with new and different ideas.

During the Awards event at the Pearson Centennial, CO offices, on Friday, February 20 our three finalists presented their winning applications.

Last month we launched the second Pearson Student Coding Contest. After receiving a number of requests for an extended entry period, we've decided to extend the Idea Proposal submission period through November 15, 2014. This means you have an extra few weeks to determine what you want to build and submit your idea to us.
