On 17 September 2026, Illumined Minds successfully conducted the International Bebras Orientation Session, bringing together school heads, principals, coordinators, and teachers from different educational institutions. The session was designed to introduce education leaders to the vision, structure, and significance of the International Bebras Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking, while highlighting how the competition encourages students to strengthen their logical reasoning, creativity, analytical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Participants were guided through the competition process, the role of schools and teachers, and the wider value of introducing computational thinking at an early stage of a student’s academic journey.

The session also created an engaging platform for educators to ask questions, exchange ideas, and better understand how Bebras can contribute to meaningful learning beyond traditional classroom methods. The strong participation and interest shown by school leaders and teachers reflected a growing commitment toward preparing students for a future where critical thinking, innovation, and digital skills will play an increasingly important role. Illumined Minds sincerely appreciates all the participants who joined the session and contributed to making it a valuable learning experience, and we look forward to working closely with schools across Pakistan to expand access to the International Bebras Challenge and inspire the next generation of confident, creative, and capable problem-solvers.
