Inspiring Pakistan's FutureProblem Solvers
- Contest Overview
Bebras Challenge is an international competition in computational thinking and informatics that helps students strengthen problem-solving, logic, and digital-age skills through fun, engaging tasks.
- Who Can Participate
The competition is open to students from Grade 1 to Grade 12, with challenges divided into 6 age group categories so each student gets tasks suited to their level and thinking ability.
- Why it Matters
Bebras helps students develop essential digital-age skills, while giving them exposure to an internationally recognised academic challenge.
A Global Challenge in Computational Thinking
Building Young Problem Solvers
Bebras is a globally recognized initiative in informatics and computational thinking that began in Lithuania in 2004. Designed to inspire school students through engaging, age-appropriate challenges, it helps young learners strengthen logic, creativity, and structured problem-solving in a meaningful way. Over time, Bebras has developed into one of the most respected international platforms for introducing computational thinking to students.
Its global scale reflects that impact. According to the official Bebras statistics, the 2024 November to 2025 April cycle recorded more than 3,981,315 participants from 74 countries, highlighting the challenge’s international reach and continued relevance in modern education. Through carefully designed tasks, Bebras encourages students not only to answer questions, but to think analytically, reason clearly, and approach problems with confidence.
In the 2024–2025 cycle, Bebras engaged 3,981,315 participants globally.

Online Teacher Training Event 2026
On 21 April 2026, Illumined Minds Pakistan successfully conducted an online teacher training session led by Dr. Marios Omer Choudary. The session focused on strengthening educators' understanding of computational thinking, innovative teaching methodologies, and the effective implementation of the International Bebras Challenge within schools.
Teachers were introduced to the core principles of computational thinking, including problem-solving, logical reasoning, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. The session also explored how these skills can be integrated into everyday classroom practices to better prepare students for the demands of the digital age.
