Bebras Norge aim to tackle a big societal challenge today – introducing teachers, parents and students to computational thinking.
What is the Bebras Challenge?
The Bebras Challenge is an international initiative working to promote informatics, computer science, and computational thinking among school children at all ages. The goal of the Bebras Challenge is to let the school students figure out what computational thinking is and have a good time. No prior knowledge is expected or needed, and there is a different set of tasks for the different age groups.
Participants are usually supervised by teachers who may integrate the Bebras challenge in their teaching activities as they are made to fit the syllabus. It takes no more than 45 minutes, and the challenge is performed at schools using computers or a mobile device. The challenge can be conducted anytime during the two weeks of the challenge, and the tasks will be made available and completed online.
The teachers will receive answers to each task, an explanation of how the answer could be obtained, as well as a section on how the tasks are related to computational thinking.
