Bebras Computing Challenge

Last month, students from Years 7 – 11 took part in the Bebras Computing Challenge. Each participant answered questions testing their computational and logical thinking. The following were the top 10 performing students in the school for their respective categories:

 

Juniors (Year 7)

Nila Arulmurugan (Best in School, Junior)

Alice Johnstone

Alex Yazaki-Montes

Jamie Curry

Congratulations to all participants, with special mention to Jamie Fry, who achieved a perfect score of 200. Only 91 out of 209,744 students nationwide achieved a perfect score in this age group, which makes Jamie’s achievement incredibly impressive!

78 St Bart’s students received a Gold certificate for achieving a top 10% score in their respective categories and therefore are now invited to participate in the Oxford University Computing Challenge (OUCC). The OUCC is taking place between 15 – 19th January 2024. This event encourages students to develop their skills further and produce programmed solutions to computational thinking problems. We wish them all the best!
