About Bebras
The Bebras Australia Computational Thinking Challenge started in Australia in 2014. The Bebras Challenge is now run through CSIRO Education and Outreach program, Digital Careers.
Bebras was founded in 2004 by Professor Valentina Dagiene from the University of Vilnius, Lithuania. Bebras began with 3470 student participants from 146 schools and has now grown to almost 60 countries with over 1.6 million students participating each year!
The goal of the Bebras Challenge is to promote computational thinking skills in a way that highlights student abilities.
- The challenge is made up of 15 questions ranging in difficulty.
- Students in years 3 and 4 have 60 minutes and students in years 5 to 12 have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
- The challenge is open twice a year for two weeks.
- Students complete the challenge in one sitting at anytime within the two weeks.
- Teachers can download student results after the challenge closes.
- Certificates of participation are automatically generated for teachers to download.
- In the first challenge of the year, students who receive full marks are placed on the Honour Roll and are sent a special certificate from CSIRO.
- After the challenge has closed, students can log in to view their results, re-attempt questions and receive immediate feedback on their answers.
