CSUK:Bytes Easter Coding Challenge 2025 is Here!
Spring into Code with This Year’s Most Egg-citing Python Event!
Welcome to CSUK:Bytes!
Welcome back to the colourful world of CSUK:Bytes – the seasonal home of all things fun, festive, and full of code! If you joined us last year for the first ever Easter Coding Challenge, you’ll know just how much joy (and Python practice) it brought to classrooms and homes alike. And if you’re new to CSUK:Bytes – you're in for a treat. Because this spring, the Easter Coding Challenge returns for 2025, and it's bigger, brighter, and more brilliantly brain-boosting than ever!
A Daily Python Egg Hunt Like No Other
Inspired by the classic Easter egg hunt – but with a CSUK twist – this challenge delivers a new Python coding puzzle each day in the lead-up to the Easter break. Each puzzle is themed, engaging, and accessible to a wide range of abilities, perfect for both budding coders and confident programmers.
Whether you're looking to reinforce skills, add structure to your end-of-term lessons, or spark curiosity in the classroom, CSUK’s Easter Coding Challenge blends festive fun with real coding depth.
Watch the Eggs Light Up One by One
Returning fans will be thrilled to see our famous Easter egg trail once again lighting up on the CSUK:Bytes website – each glowing egg symbolising a freshly released coding challenge. As the days go by, the trail comes to life, creating an atmosphere of anticipation, discovery, and progress.
Collect Code Words and Unlock the Easter Parade
Each day’s puzzle rewards students with a special code word upon completion. These words aren’t just fun tokens – they form part of the final celebration, guiding students to the Easter Parade finale where surprises await!
It’s a rewarding journey of logic, creativity, and perseverance – and yes, there may be a few digital chocolate eggs along the way...
Instant Feedback with Professional-Style Auto-Grading
Just like last year, all challenges are supported by our built-in auto-grading system, giving students instant feedback and helping them learn from every attempt. With black-box testing similar to what’s used in real-world tech platforms, students are exposed to industry-relevant coding practices in a safe, supportive environment.
A Seasonal Adventure for All Ages and Abilities
From Year 7 beginners to GCSE-ready coders, everyone is welcome. Our tasks are designed to be approachable yet challenging, with scaffolding and stretch options available. It’s perfect for class activities, homework tasks, coding clubs – or just some fun over the holidays!
