CCCu22

Civictech Challenge Cup

The Civictech Challenge Cup is an event that aims to encourage high school teams to participate in programming and civic tech contests. It provides an opportunity for these teams to showcase their development techniques and projects. The event is organized by Code For Japan, and more information can be found on their website.

• “Development Techniques of High School Teams Challenging Programming for the First Time in Civic Tech Contest - Nikkei XTECH” is an article that talks about the challenges faced by high school teams participating in the contest. It highlights the importance of such opportunities in boosting the motivation of the committee members.

• The team has won the Grand Prize and PLAID Award in the Civictech Challenge Cup U-22. They express their gratitude for the support and excitement generated by their civic tech activities within their school.

• The team is excited to have passed the first screening of the competition.

• The team is participating in CCCu22 for the first time and is planning to learn about project management techniques to improve their performance. They acknowledge their lack of coding skills and consider exploring alternative ideas that require less coding expertise, such as focusing on design or utilizing no-code solutions. They are relieved to know that not only technical skills but also ideas and planning are valued in the competition.

• The team plans to analyze the trends from previous winning projects to gain insights. They believe that combining their expertise with innovative problem-solving approaches will lead to success.

• The team aims to deepen their understanding of Civictech, not only individually but also as a whole team.

• They discuss strategies to prevent free-riding within the team. They decide to limit their involvement in implementing LINE Bot, focusing only on providing support. If backend development is required, they will take responsibility. However, they are unsure how to handle the situation in a team of six members and consider involving a design specialist from GKADC.

• The team wants to maintain high motivation by focusing on tasks other than coding, such as mock-ups and non-coding related work.

• They highlight the importance of actually creating something, unlike in a programming classroom, and emphasize that the committee will function as a team rather than just a programming class.

• The team mentions CodeForJapan’s hackathon, where their team won in 2020.

• They express their desire to contribute as GKADC (an organization or group) and aim to develop the committee to a level where they can create something meaningful. They believe that their projects can benefit not only their school but also have broader applications in CivicTech.

• They also mention the possibility of participating in workshops as a valuable learning experience.
