Celebrating Computational Thinking

Congratulations to pupils from Lower School, Year 9 and GCSE Computer Science who have received top marks in the annual Bebras Challenge. 

The Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students. It is based on logic skills, and attracted over 200,000 competitors this year, from more than 50 countries.

In 40 minutes students need to solve 18 puzzles, which have varying degrees of difficulty, for example*:

Congratulations to our top Shiplake performers:

Special congratulations go to R Goggins, who automatically qualifies for the Oxford University Computing Challenge, which takes place next February. He achieved this by being in the top 10% of 123,000 students who took part in the Intermediate Challenge this year.
