Inspiring Pakistan's FutureProblem Solvers

Illumined Minds organises the International Bebras Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking across Pakistan — empowering students from Grade 1 through 12 to develop critical thinking for the digital era.

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.

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.

Bebras helps students develop essential digital-age skills, while giving them exposure to an internationally recognised academic challenge.

ABOUT

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.
