Bebras International Informatics and Computational Thinking Challenge

ClosedComputer ScienceSTEMCompetition

About the Program

Bebras promotes informatics and computational thinking through short tasks for school students. The international site directs participants to national member or observer organizers, with teachers normally coordinating school sessions. Its recommended worldwide November task-solving week does not create a universal local registration cutoff, test date, price or format.

National examples, checked November 4, 2026: USA Bebras announces November 9–20, 2026, free participation and a 45-minute challenge, with younger age groups receiving fewer than 15 tasks. Belgium also offers November 9–20, free school-based participation, with the teacher choosing a session. India instead announces November 16–December 5, 2026 and school registration through November 28. These availability windows are alternatives set by national organizers, not a continuous international attendance period or a deadline for all countries.

The international country directory links those national organizers. Students should use the relevant member’s current age/grade, language, fees and registration instructions. No single worldwide fee or exact 2026 attendance date was verified. Future national cycles are not inferred from November recurrence. The international site requires JavaScript; its rendered pages supplied the directory and general guidance.

Eligibility

Bebras targets school students through national member/observer organizers, usually with teachers coordinating school participation. Age groups, task counts, duration, language and registration procedures vary by national edition. A universal 45-minute/15-question format or unrestricted access to every national edition is not established.

Eligible Countries

All countries

How to Apply

Use the international Countries page to locate the applicable national organizer and its current school/student instructions. International guidance declares a November task-solving week, but national dates differ. For example, USA and Belgium offer November 9–20, 2026 while India offers November 16–December 5 with school registration through November 28. These are national examples, not worldwide deadlines; teachers choose the local test session.
