The photo of an expensive and well-manicured mansion feels like a potential misstep. Let's pretend I am a child from a lower socioeconomic background who happens to visit this site. You immediately lost me here. Maybe I don't want to join the "Fairfield Programming Association" if I assume from this photo that it's for a bunch of wealthy New England snobs. 🤣 It could be better to show a child excited at a computer? Particularly since the text at the bottom of the page makes it seem that you are sensitive to this issue ("...many underpriveliged districts cannot afford extra education...")
I agree with the others about clumsiness of the second section. It isn't immediately clear from a UX perspective if this is just informational, or if I am supposed to click these different boxes to go off to learn more?
The three sections all have different widths on my desktop. I feel these should share a left margin at least.
The login page is well-executed. It looks great, and I even was told a joke. Thanks!
I am a developer that jumps from project to project- I know about 20 different programming languages, and I am a huge fan of the open-source initiative.
Thanks for the compliment on the login page, but we can't really change the picture of the Vanderbilt mansion as it is our headquarters and the location that we will be hosting the competitions at. We also recieved feedback from many Bridgeport (a local city in the 'New England snob area') children who said that the photo attracted them because they wanted to check out the building as it has a rich history and is quite stunning.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
My two cents:
