Bebras Computing Challenge

The Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking and it runs in over 50 countries. It introduces visual computational and logical thinking puzzles to students. It is organized in over 50 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. This year, it is was completed online within lessons, with additional sessions for students who do not take Computer Science as a qualification option.

We have had an amazing year in this competition, with so many students achieving some very high scores. Congratulations and well done to the top performers who scored 180+ (out of 200): David N (8W), Ethan Z (8E), Noah V (8C), Abraham S (8C), Kalyan M (8L), Robin H (8L), Harry B (8E), Sanchit P (8S), Parth G (10L), Michael S, Miaka C (9E), Tristan S (10W), Kalvin M (10C) and Luke H (11W), Ambuj M (11L), Benjamin S-R (11L), Benjamin T (11C) and Max K (12L).

Noah V (7C) awarded 2nd place in the Oxford University Computing Challenge 2022 (Junior National Finalist)

We would also like to congratulate Noah V (7C), who received the Junior National Finalist award of 2nd place in the Oxford University Computing Challenge 2022 (OUCC). The OUCC asks students to learn a programming language and provide coded solutions to computational thinking problems. Reaching the final round of the challenge is an impressive achievement, as 71,146 students entered the first round for the intermediate age group (12–14) and 41,372 students entered the first round for the junior age group (10–12).
