About this Activity

During this activity, you’ll host the !Light (pronounced No Light) game. We’ll teach you how to run !Light by covering the rules of how to play and what tools you can use to run the contest smoothly. !Light is great for both participants writing code and for an audience to watch and in by judging submissions.
