The Beaver Computational Thinking Competition is an interactive, online international contest that is part of the global Bebras initiative. The Bebras movement aims to spark students’ interest in Informatics and Computational Thinking, which involves essential problem-solving skills such as breaking down complex tasks into simpler steps, designing algorithms, recognizing patterns, and applying logical reasoning.

Nearly 4 million students from over 74 countries have taken part in the Beaver Competition worldwide, making it one of the largest international contests in computational thinking.

The competition, founded in Lithuania, derives its name from the Lithuanian word “Bebras”, meaning Beaver. Each year, students from around the globe come together to test and develop their computational thinking skills in a fun and challenging environment.

In Brunei last year, a total of 131 students participated, demonstrating impressive creativity and problem-solving skills.

For 2026, the competition will be held online on 12th November 2026. Students from Primary, Secondary, and Pre-University levels are encouraged to participate and experience this exciting global challenge.
