Challenge Nova Scotia 2024

NSCC Libraries is pleased to support Challenge Nova Scotia again! This year’s competition is Friday, Nov. 22. An important requirement for this competition is ensuring the teams provide credit for ideas and works created by others (i.e. authors and photographers). This is called Academic Integrity and you can learn more by visiting the Academic Integrity Guide.

2024 Challenge Question

The question will be released on the morning of the Challenge Nova Scotia event.

Academic Integrity

All Challenge Nova Scotia participants must participate in a brief Academic Integrity session on the morning of the competition. This session will provide an overview of the Academic Integrity requirements and offer an opportunity for participants to ask questions.

Wondering what is required for the Challenge video submission? This video provides an overview of academic integrity expectations for Challenge Nova Scotia.
