Update on June 4, 2025

In order to test whether or not Stack Overflow users are interested in something like this on the platform, we will utilize the Discussions space to set up two coding challenges in the next few weeks. There will be a new “Challenges” link in the left navigation, leading users to the challenge posts.

During this time the Challenges space will temporarily replace the Discussions space. All existing Discussions will be hidden, and the ability to create new Discussion posts will be turned off. The test will last about two weeks, after which Discussions will go back to their current state.

Update on June 16, 2025

This experiment is being extended through July 15th. Challenge 3 will be posted on June 17th, and challenge 4 will be posted on July 1st. All challenge posts can be seen at stackoverflow.com/beta/challenges, linked in the left navigation on Stack Overflow.
