What is Bebras?<\/h2>\n

Bebras a free, annual challenge that helps schools introduce computational thinking<\/a> to their students. No programming is involved, and it\u2019s completely free for schools to take part. All Bebras questions are self-marking. Schools can enter students from age 6 to 18<\/strong> and know they\u2019ll get interesting and challenging (but not too<\/em> challenging) activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a really positive experience. Thank you. Shared results with head and Head of KS3. Really useful for me when assessing KS4 options.\u201d \u2013 Secondary teacher, North Yorkshire<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019re making Bebras accessible by offering age-appropriate challenges for different school levels, and a challenge tailored for visually impaired students.<\/p>\n

What is the idea behind Bebras?<\/h2>\n

We want young people to get excited about computing. Through Bebras, they will learn about computational and logical thinking by answering questions and solving puzzles.<\/p>\n

Bebras questions are based on classic computing problems and presented in friendly, age-appropriate contexts. For example, an algorithm-based puzzle for learners aged 6 to 8 is presented in terms of a hungry tortoise find an efficient eating path across a lawn; for 16- to 18-year-olds, a difficult question based on graph theory asks students to sort out some quiz teams by linking quizzers who know each other.<\/p>\n

Can you solve the example puzzle?<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a question from the 2021 challenge for the Junior category (ages 10 to 12). You\u2019ll find the correct answer at the bottom of this blog post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
