This year is the 11th year of the NCSS Challenge -- an online programming competition for high school students, run by the University of Sydney, Australia. The competition runs for five weeks, and each week a set of problems and a set of notes are released. Students can use the online marking system to get immediate feedback on their work.
There are four difficulty levels, ranging from absolute beginners (suitable for younger students), through to advanced. If you're a teacher and considering using this with your students they have free teacher trials: http://groklearning.com/teachers The competition itself starts on Monday 1st August. I've worked on this challenge as a volunteer for several years, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Otherwise, check out the website: https://groklearning.com/challenge Georgina
