Capture the Duck

Promote the Campus Challenge on your institutional blog or website and we’ll send you some Overleaf ducks! Yep – we’ll send you a set of your very own Overleaf ducks to name, share or talk to for debugging.


At the time of writing, my university (Aberystwyth) is placed 465th in the global leaderboard and 221nd in Europe. We want to win some ducks!
