The design
The Bebras challenge is designed to help students explorer their talents and passion for informatics and
computational thinking with engaging challenges. Participating in the challenge is free and the tasks can all be
completed without any preparation or studying. Students from 8 to 18 years old work through a set of tasks that
focus on different topics and skills within informatics and computational thinking. They will have 45 minutes to
complete the tasks. The challenge has six different age categories with each their own set of tasks to keep
things exciting and challenging for all students:
Each group will get 3 sets of 5 tasks (except the youngest group, they will get 3 sets of 3 tasks). The 3 sets
each have a level of difficulty: easy, medium or hard.
In some regions we will hold regional finals if the COVID guidelines allow. The best students from each age
group in that region will be invited to spend a day at a university working on more exciting tasks.

About Bebras®
The Bebras® Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students.
It is organized in over 30 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing.
Each participant gets 45 minutes to answer 15 multiple-choice questions that focus on computational and logical thinking.
It is completed online in your own school and it shows to school and student how well their skills are developed.
What teachers say about the challenge:
“I just want to say how much the children are enjoying this competition. It is the first year we have entered, and I have students aged 8 to 11 participating in my ICT lessons, with some of our older students also taking on the challenges. It is really helping to challenge their thinking, and they are showing great determination to try and complete each task! Also fantastic to find something that works on our iPads, as most puzzles of this kind are flash based.”
“Our students completed the challenge this morning, I just wanted to say thank you for running this. It’s a brilliant idea!”
