Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge

Bebras is an international initiative aiming to promote Computer Science among school students at all ages. The Bebras challenge is open twice a year to Australian Students in Years 3-12, and engages students' computational thinking and problem solving skills in a fun, interactive environment.

Bebras Challenge Round 2: 22 August - 11 September 2022

Narrator: Want to get your students thinking about a future digital career?

[Animation image shows the beaver leaping off the text heading and onto the floor and hopping off to the right of the screen]

Get a head start and enter the Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge.

[Animation image changes to show the beaver pushing four coloured dices into four holes in the floor surface and then sitting up and a tick appears on the left of the beaver]

Engage your students in problem solving and computational thinking.

[Animation image changes to show a beehive in a tree with a honey pipe running from the hive to a honeypot and then the beaver can be seen turning taps along the pipe to allow the honeypot to fill]

The Bebras challenge is a free online challenge aimed at students from Years 3 to 12 running for 45 to 60 minutes right from your classroom.

Bebras develops and assesses student’s problem solving and computational thinking skills,

highly sought after in the digital careers of the future.

Running twice a year the Bebras challenge is Australian curriculum aligned and a great way to engage students in collaborative, creative and critical thinking in any classroom.

Bebras Honour Roll

Showcasing the students who achieved full marks in the 2014 to 2019 first round of the Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge. As of 2020 onwards, all students who achieve full marks in either or both rounds of the Bebras Challenge will have the opportunity to be showcased on the Honour Roll.

Bebras resources

Bebras 365

Bebras 365 is a free resource available throughout the year, questions are from past years' challenges and do not require a login to access.

Bebras Unplugged

A free, offline, printable version of the Bebras Challenge for use at home or in the classroom.

Computational Thinking in Action activities

Each resource was designed to develop team work; critical and creative thinking; problem solving; and computational thinking skills.
