In its endeavour to motivate and encourage more school students into mastering the art of coding, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore has come up with a unique contest “Indian Sports Programming Championship”.

The contest being the first of its kind in the country, will be held in November. The contest is a multi-tier competition designed to select the best, talented brains from all the states in India for the final round. The coding competition will end with an onsite round at Amrita School of Engineering Bangalore and Amritapuri along with a workshop conducted on data science, python and artificial intelligence.

The students will be trained by the faculty of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham on the latest techniques in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics. The competition will bridge the gap between the coding community in India and the best-talented coders in schools. The competition has been divided into four phases.
