Moroccan coding school 1337 said its students ranked first worldwide in the Winter Challenge 2026 organised by CodinGame, marking what the school described as its strongest performance yet in a competition that drew thousands of developers from across the world.
The peer-learning school announced the result in a press release saying the latest edition, titled SnakeByte, placed 1337 at the top of the international school rankings ahead of Poland’s University of Wroclaw and France’s 42 Paris, which were ranked second and third respectively.
Several campuses from the wider 42 Network also placed in the global top 10, underlining the level of competition in this year’s contest.
1337 said the result reflected a sustained trajectory rather than a one off success, citing years of repeated participation, steady progress and the ability of its students to perform under pressure in competitive programming environments.
In the statement, the school said the ranking was the product of long hours of practice, experimentation, failed attempts and repeated iteration, describing the outcome as a reflection of its teaching model based on learning by doing, peer to peer progression and pushing individual limits through collective effort.
The school said the result also highlighted the depth of its student talent and the collaborative culture it seeks to build, arguing that the achievement belonged to the wider student community rather than a small group of standout competitors.
After several strong results in previous editions of CodinGame challenges, 1337 said the latest ranking confirmed its emergence as a durable international reference in competitive programming.
