The Bebras Challenge

This year 755 students from Years 7-13 took part in the Bebras Challenge. The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students worldwide. This exciting challenge takes place in schools, under the supervision of teachers, over a two-week period in November. Last year, over 3 million students from more than 80 countries participated!

This year we competed against just over 467,00 students in the UK. Each participant has 45 minutes to tackle a series of interactive tasks, designed to encourage logical thinking and problem-solving skills appropriate for their age group. The tasks are designed to allow every student the opportunity to showcase their potential, whether they excel in maths or computing, or not.

196 students finished in the top 50% achieving a Merit, 180 students finished in the top 25% achieving a Distinction and 84 students managed to finish in the top 10% nationally and receive a Gold Award. These 84 students are invited to take part in the next level of the competition in March 2025, The Coding Challenge.

The following students did not drop a point across the whole challenge, a great achievement. Ishaan P, James C, Henry H, Oliver H, Hannah K-A and Larry E.

The UK Bebras Challenge is organised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and delivered in partnership with the University of Oxford.

Congratulations to all involved.

Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care 快猫视频.
