“Code: Echo” EARTH TO ECHO Coding Challenge Timeline Extended

Earth to ECHO

The “Code: Echo” Coding Challenge initiative, inspired by the upcoming feature film EARTH TO ECHO has extended the game submission deadline to May 16, 2014.

With support from Code.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to making computer science more available in schools, Relativity created a gaming challenge for students across the country to use code to design a game. Coding is the basic concept of computer programming, and what is used to create software, apps and websites.

Since launching on April 4th, the Code: Echo site  has received countless requests to extend the deadline in order for more students and classrooms to be able to participate in the coding contest.  Students and teachers are encouraged to visit www.codeechomovie.com to learn about the contest, and find more information on how to participate.

Tuck, Munch and Alex are a closely bonded trio of inseparable friends, but their time together is coming to an end. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys find a cryptic signal has infected their phones.

Convinced something bigger is going on and looking for one final adventure together, they set off to trace the messages to their source and discover something beyond their wildest imaginations: hiding in the darkness is a mysterious being, stranded on Earth, and wanted by the government. This launches the boys on an epic journey full of danger and wonder, one that will test the limits of their friendship and change all of their lives forever.

Based on a story by Henry Gayden & Andrew Panay with the screenplay by Henry Gayden.

Prepare for the journey of a lifetime when director Dave Green’s EARTH TO ECHO opens in theaters nationwide on July 2nd.
