Students all across Romania learned the most used programming language in the world &#8211; Java &#8211; being able to test and validate their knowledge, but most important to be recognised for their effort in this competition. Greenfoot platform facilitates the professional evolution of students to build more complex projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.adfaber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20170314_142014-225x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 200 teams formed by 2 students and one teacher\/ mentor created amazing games and educative stories practising object oriented programming at it\u2019s highest level. <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfoot.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greenfoot<\/a> is an innovative 2D environment which represents the natural evolution after first exposing students to Java programming with Alice. Students can create \u201cactors\u201d \u00a0and \u201cworlds\u201d in order to realize games, simulations and other graphic software programs. The characters are programmed in standard Java code, the interface being simple and easy to use, offering a combination between traditional text based programming experience and visual execution. The contest was carried out in the framework of <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsintech.adfaber.org\/\">Kids in Tech<\/a>, an educational platform launched by ADFABER, which offers tech companies the opportunity to get involved in developing the next generation of talented Romanian programmers, by aligning digital competences to demand in the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.adfaber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/17349153_1478946688796553_1431784846_o-225x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis was the first Java Competition \u2013 Code with Greenfoot organised in Romania and we expected 60 teams.

We thank them and especially to all their teachers that support their passion for technology.\u201d The 1st edition of the \u201cJava Competition \u2013 Code with Greenfoot\u201d was addressed to high school students and teachers from all over the country. Each participating team had two students and a mentoring teacher. The teams had the opportunity to enter the competition with a game or an educational software made using the Greenfoot platform. The competition had over 320 registered teams and the winners were declared on March 2nd 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.adfaber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-12.30.34-PM-300x213-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more details and videos on adfaber.org\/greenfoot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Oracle Academy <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Oracle\u2019s flagship philanthropic educational program, Oracle Academy advances computer science education globally to drive knowledge, innovation, skills development, and diversity in technology fields, offering a free and complete portfolio of software, curriculum, hosted technology, faculty trainings, support, and certification resources, supporting more than 3.1 million students annually in 110 countries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High-School students participated in the first National Java Programming Competition The 1st edition of the \u201cJava Competition \u2013 Code with Greenfoot for high schools\u201d organized by the ADFABER Organisation and sponsored by Oracle Academy announces today it\u2019s medalists.
