What is Bebras? Bebras is an international initiative aiming to promote Informatics (Computer Science, or Computing) and computational thinking among school students at all ages. Participants are usually supervised by teachers who may integrate the Bebras challenge in their teaching activities.

The Bebras challenge is an international challenge on informatics and computer fluency for all age of school students. It is performed at schools using computers. The contestants are usually supervised by teachers who may integrate the challenge in their teaching activities.

The following countries organize an annual Bebras Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking and hence participate in the Bebras initiative. By clicking on country flag you will get its national Bebras site.

The history of Bebras challenge began on September 25, 2004, in Lithuania, when experimental trial, in which 779 school students participated, was held. Its aim was to check selected technologies of the challenge and to evaluate the level of complexity of the presented problems.
