The subject of this 2016 edition

Kheops asks your agency to create the most beautiful website presenting its fabulous pyramid in order to seduce the jury and win the first place.
Preparing our young people for a future profession
Nowadays, the technology sector is a major contributor to our economy and learning the basics of computer language is becoming a must. After French and mathematics, computer programming, also known as “coding”, is the new subject to teach to children.
Code has become a global and unifying movement, programming allows students to acquire vocabulary, better understand the syntax of the language and develop their logic.
While waiting for the next edition, we say a big congratulations to all the budding coders!
