Performance: 1337 students reach a new milestone and achieve the highest spot on the international podium.
At the end of the Winter Challenge 2026 – SnakeByte, organized by CodinGame, 1337 is ranked as the top school in the world. This achievement solidifies a long-established dynamic: consistent presence, continuous progress, 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, experimenting, facing failures, iterating, and continuous improvement. This result reflects the essence of the 1337 model: – Learn by doing – Progress through peer support – 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, facing 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 schools, with several campuses also 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. Every student involved embodies the culture of effort, collaboration, and continuous progress. It is this density of talent and collective dynamic that currently reinforces 1337’s strength on the international stage.
