_Gatsby was named the [#1 new technology to learn in 2020](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/02/10-hottest-tech-skills-that-could-pay-off-most-in-2020-says-new-report.html)!_ | ||
|
||
_To help you learn about Gatsby and our ecosystem, we invite you to take the #100DaysOfGatsby challenge! If you are new to Gatsby, you can follow along with our beginner-friendly weekly prompts. Or if you are familiar with Gatsby and want to go deeper, we invite you to [build your first Gatsby Theme](/docs/themes/building-themes/)._ | ||
|
||
_Over 3,000 web developers have registered for the challenge! Learn more about [#100DaysOfGatsby here](/blog/100days)!_ | ||

## Challenge 3: Learn How to Use Images with Gatsby | ||
|
||
Gatsby sites are known for their [blazing fast speed](/blog/2019-01-30-flamingo-case-study). The way a Gatsby site [optimizes images](/docs/using-gatsby-image/) is a big reason for that. | ||
|
||
This week’s challenge invites you to add images to your blog and learn about a popular and powerful Gatsby feature, `gatsby-image`. | ||
|
||
#### Part 1 | ||
|
||
Add images to your markdown-based blog posts. If you are doing each challenge sequentially, then you have a [Gatsby blog that uses markdown](/100days/start-blog/) for blog posts, and is [deployed live to a CDN](/blog/100days/free-hosting/). | ||
|
||
But what good is a blog without beautiful images? We want you to use the resources section below to add auto-optimized images to your markdown blog posts! | ||
|
||
#### Part 2 | ||
|
||
Now it’s time to get direct experience using the `Img`React component provided by [`gatsby-image` ](/packages/gatsby-image/)! Create an about page using JSX, then use the gatsby-image API to transform a normal selfie into a square, black-and-white image. | ||
|
||
Bonus: Take note of the build times for your site before and after you add images to your project. Also, record the performance of specific pages with images, using [a tool like Lighthouse](/docs/audit-with-lighthouse/). As a Gatsby Developer you should be aware of how images affect your site’s production and user experience. | ||
|
||
### Challenge Resources | ||
|
||
#### Part 1 Resource | ||
|
||
Follow this tutorial that explains how to [add images to your markdown-based pages](/docs/working-with-images-in-markdown/). After you configure your site as outlined, Gatsby will auto-optimize your images for you. | ||
|
||
#### Part 2 Resource | ||
|
||
[Create an About page](/docs/recipes/pages-layouts/#creating-pages-automatically) using JSX, the preferred templating language for [React](/docs/glossary/react/). After that, you can [learn about gatsby-image](/docs/working-with-images), then [use its API](/docs/gatsby-image/) to transform your selfie into a black-and-white square. | ||
|
||
### How to Get Help | ||
|
||
Depending on your experience with Gatsby and React, this may be the hardest challenge we've given you. So, if you get stuck, please ask for help from the [Gatsby community](/contributing/community/) and the [ASKGatsbyJS](https://twitter.com/AskGatsbyJS) twitter account. You can find fellow Gatsby Developers on [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/gatsby), [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/gatsbyjs/), [Spectrum](https://spectrum.chat/gatsby-js), and [Dev](https://dev.to/t/gatsby). | ||

||
Have fun! We can't wait to see what you build! |
