Bebras® is the largest international initiative for the development of computational thinking and is aimed at students of all ages. Through original problems of logic, algorithmic thinking and problem solving, participants are invited to utilize their creativity and analytical skills.

This year's event in Greece brought together more than 34,700 students from all over the country, while only 282 students managed to achieve the absolute score of 116 points. Evgenia's performance ranks her among the top competitors nationwide.

Our students’ achievements in Informatics competitions are a true source of pride for our teachers and our school. These accomplishments not only highlight their outstanding abilities but also demonstrate their consistent effort, commitment to learning, and capacity to meet the challenges and demands of the modern era.
