BEBRAS Computing Challenge 2023
Students across Year 7 to A Level at Park High School had the opportunity to participate in the annual UK BEBRAS Challenge, on Monday 13 November. The online challenge is organised by Oxford University, in partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation for students in over 50 countries, the Bebras Challenge invites students to use computational and logical thinking to solve classical computer science problems re-worked into accessible and interesting questions. It is designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. Last November over 365,000 students took part in the UK, and over 3 million worldwide.
