Websites with different types of problems to solve. Doesn’t necessarily need to be programming or math, maybe something similar would be a daily reading challenge or a vocabulary quiz.

    Probably needs no introduction. Lots of companies use this to screen programmer applicants, but you can just treat it like a challenge for fun, too.

    Realistically, would going through many of the challenges on this/similar websites be useful in finding a programming job? My degree isn’t in CS, but I often teach programming including some higher level data structures/algorithms material.

      It will definitely give you an edge in interviewing, but problems like these are often criticized for not being indicative of what writing software is actually like once you get the job.
