Challenge FAQs
Everything parents and learners ask before entering.
Who can enter the monthly challenge?
Any child with an Imagine STEM Academy account, aged 5 to 19. If you don't have an account yet, book a free trial class — that creates your account and unlocks the challenge section in your dashboard.
How much does it cost to enter?
Nothing. The monthly challenge is free for every ISA student.
What can I submit?
A link to your project (Scratch, a website, a repo), screenshots of what you built, or a short video demo. Anything that shows your work.
How are winners chosen?
Our instructors review every entry and pick one winner in each age group — ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-19 — based on creativity, effort and how well the brief was met.
When are winners announced?
Winners are announced on this page after entries close, and each winner gets a congratulations message in their ISA dashboard.
