University attempts to break Guinness Record for world's largest computer programming lesson, in Lisbon

Nearly 1,700 students aged between 12 and 67 flocked to the University of Lisbon's IST School of Technology on Saturday, September 12, to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest computer programming lesson in a single venue.

The previous record grouped 724 participants in Dallas, in the United States, on Oct. 31, 2016.

"The final total was counted on how many people were here and 1,668 participants were achieved," said Guinness World Records Adjudicator Paulina Sapinska after the 75-minute session.
