Bebras Computing Challenge 2026

The Bebras Computing Challenge aims to promote computational thinking and problem-solving skills among students of all ages.

What is the Bebras Computing Challenge?

The Bebras Computing Challenge is an international initiative that aims to promote computing and computational thinking among students.

This challenge is designed to help students explore their talents and passion for computing and computational thinking, through solving engaging puzzles and challenges.

After the extraordinary success of last year, the Bebras Computing Challenge will be organized again this year in over 350 schools across the country.

How does the Bebras Challenge work and who can get involved?

The Bebras Computing Challenge will be held on November 13, 2026. In this challenge, students from 8 to 18 years old will solve a series of tasks that focus on various topics and skills from the field of informatics and algorithmic and computational thinking. Students will have 35 minutes to complete as many tasks as they can.

To keep things exciting and challenging for all students, the challenge is organized into five different age categories:

  • Beavers (ages 8-10, grade 3/4)
  • The Benjamins (ages 10-12, grade 5/6)
  • Cadets (ages 12-14, grades 7/8)
  • Juniors (ages 14-16, grades 9/10)
  • Seniors (ages 16-18, grades 11/12)
