Bebras 2025
James Hargest College is proud to announce another year of strong representation at the Bebras Computing Challenge 2025. Our senior campus students demonstrated their impressive computational skills in the global event, which introduces computational thinking to students in over 50 countries.
Huge congratulations go to Ben O'Connor, Logan Jordan, Preethi Ravindran, and Gage Crow for their exceptional results. The dedication and enthusiasm of all participants once again reaffirmed the importance of computational literacy in education.
Bebras Computing Challenge 2024: Celebrating Computational Thinkers
The Bebras Computing Challenge 2024 saw students from James Hargest College Senior Campus showcase their computational prowess. The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students all over the world, in over 50 countries. Here are the highlights from JHC:
Gold Medalists: Cameron Hughes and Tequin Lake demonstrated exceptional computational skills, earning gold medals.
Silver Medalists: Josh Chen, Noah Jaleeludeen, Sean Cross, and Ben O'Connor displayed commendable proficiency, securing silver medals.
Bronze Medalists: Zuriel Boanerges, Fahim Firdaus, and Logan Jordan exhibited strong computational abilities, earning bronze medals.
Participation: Noah Hackett, Gage Crow, Riley Ferguson, and Alex Zernov actively engaged in the challenge, contributing to the learning experience.
Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and enthusiasm, reaffirming the importance of computational literacy in education.
The Bebras Computing Challenge 2023, held on March 30th, aimed to introduce computational thinking, logic, and computational skills to students. Five students from James Hargest College Senior Campus participated, with notable achievements:
In the Cadets category (Year 9/10), Ben Richardson and Gage Crow received Merit awards.
Tristian Toms earned a Merit in the Junior category (Year 11).
In the Seniors category (Year 12/13), Tequin Lake also secured a Merit.
We applaud Nathaneal Bullock for his active participation in the Year 11 category. The Bebras Computing Challenge plays a crucial role in nurturing computational and logical thinking skills among students worldwide, and we eagerly await next year's challenge to further develop our students' computational thinking abilities.
The Bebras Computing Challenge 2022 took place on 23rd March this year. The Challenge introduces computational thinking (i.e. thinking like a computer) to students. The challenge identifies how well studentsโ skills are developed in computational thinking. It is organised in over 30 countries and designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. Each participant gets 45 minutes to answer a set of multiple-choice questions that focus on computational and logical thinking. There were 15 James Hargest College Senior Campus students who completed the challenge for 2022 online this term. The results:ย
