Beaver ComputationalThinking Competition

Introduction of Beaver Computational Thinking Competition

The Bebras (or Beaver) Computational Thinking Competition is an online-based competition that is part of the International Bebras effort. The Bebras Competition was founded in Lithuania, and the word Bebras means Beaver in Lithuanian. As of 2023, more than 3 million students from more than 59 countries participated in Beaver worldwide every year

Our Objectives

• Cultivates students' creativity, information culture, algorithmic and computational thinking
• Facilitates a deeper understanding of information technology
• Illustrates to students the advantages of information technologies that are helpful in learning various subjects
• Solves problems through computational thinking using computer-based solutions
• Prepares the students with a good foundation in prepping for future digital economy jobs

What is Computational Thinking?

Computational Thinking is a thought process that allows one to break down problems and formulate solutions like how computers "think". It introduces the basic concepts of informatics and computer science. It involves a problem-solving process that includes (but is not limited to) the following characteristic

• Formulating problems in a way that enables us to use a computer and other tools to help solve problems.
• Logically organizing and analyzing data
• Representing data through abstraction such as simulations
• Automation solutions through algorithmic thinking (a series of steps)
• Analyzing, and implementing possible solutions to achieve the most effective combination of steps and resources
