Performance: 1337 students reach new heights and claim the top spot on the international podium
At the end of the Winter Challenge 2026 – SnakeByte, organized by CodinGame, 1337 is ranked as the number 1 school in the world. This achievement cements a long-established momentum: consistent presence, continuous improvement, the ability to perform under pressure, and a guaranteed place on the podium.
Behind this ranking is not a sudden success, but a process: hours of learning, experimentation, failures, iterations, and continuous improvement. This result reflects the essence of the 1337 model:
- Learning by doing
- Progressing alongside peers
- Pushing one’s own limits
This edition brought together thousands of developers on an international scale, confirming the level of excellence and value of this top position. 1337 excels in a highly competitive environment, alongside academic and technological actors of reference such as the University of Wroclaw and Ecole 42 Paris, which were ranked second and third respectively, as well as the 42 Network school network, with several campuses also featuring in the global top 10. This competition raises the bar and makes the victory even more significant. Beyond the ranking, this first place belongs to a collective. Each student who participated embodies a culture of effort, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
It is this density of talent and collective momentum that today makes 1337 a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
