Challenge Summary

Hello Topcoders! This week is Computer Science Education Week and because of that, we are running our own Hour of Code - Topcoder Hour Of Code PLUS!

In Topcoder, we have 4 tracks:
  • Data science: Competitive Programming (Algorithm) & Marathon
  • UI Design
  • Development (Code)
  • QA

Most of us only focus on one track. It's your time to share one hour to try a different new track, it might help you to open a new world!

This challenge is a fun challenge for Non-Design Members to learn how to use design tools and create their first design.
As this is a "Fun Challenge", the task is super easy!

In this challenge, please use Adobe XD or Sketch and create one Heart icon for us!
