STEM-minded Â鶹¹ÙÍø students can earn a gift card* for a free pizza by completing a fun and easy coding game to build a virtual pizza.
Starting daily on Nov. 30 at 12:30 p.m., the first 20 Â鶹¹ÙÍø students to successfully complete the coding tutorial will receive a free pizza gift card. The game can be played an unlimited number of times, but a student can only win one pizza. No coding experience is needed.
The promotion continues through Friday, Dec. 11 at 12:30 p.m.
To enter, visit or find #Code4PizzaÂ鶹¹ÙÍø posts on Â鶹¹ÙÍø's main social media channels.
#Code4PizzaÂ鶹¹ÙÍø exposes students to the possibilities of computer science as they create their own coding minigame to build a virtual pizza. The initiative stems from Â鶹¹ÙÍø's participation in the Commonwealth's Tech Talent Investment Program aimed at increasing the tech talent pipeline in Virginia. Â鶹¹ÙÍø hopes to encourage more students to enter the computer science and computer engineering disciplines in the next two decades.
*Papa John's gift card valued at $12.50.
