Computer Science is all about the computer. We focus on computational thinking, that is structured, logical and analytical thinking. By doing so, the participants improve their problem solving skills. All of this is done in a playful way, adapted to kids of various ages.

As we focus on computational thinking, logical and analytical thinking, the problem solving skills of the students will improve over time. Thus, the school will have much better students when consequently working with CS.

CS improves your problem solving skills! Together with the capability of logical and analytical thinking, this will come in handy with most if not all type of works you will do in your future. If you want to work in the area of science (STEM), it is a mandatory skill that will make you successful.

Computational thinking is a problem-solving process that uses computer science concepts to break down complex problems, identify patterns, and develop solutions that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent, like a computer, or even by humans. It's a way of thinking that emphasizes logic, pattern recognition, abstraction, and automation to address problems in a structured and systematic way.  (Source: Google)

Once we finish the training at your school, we will keep mentoring your teacher(s) and provide tasks, so that you can keep working with the students. We will also assist you to register your classes for the annual Bebras Challenge (March/April) and send specific preparation tasks a few weeks before the challenge.

Fantastic! Talk to your school and let us arrange some training at your school! We start working with Logo (various levels) where you learn the basics of coding. There is no limits!

Bebras Challenge is an annual, international challenge about computational thinking that takes place in about 80 countries with more than 4 million students from all age groups.

It is completely for FREE and it can be done online or offline (with pen and paper)!!! Talk to us and register your organisation/school for the next challenge (always in March/April) and get material to exercise.

• The Bebras challenge can be done online or offline (with pen and paper)!!!
• If you do have laptops and internet available, we will register you for an online participation.
• If this equipment is not available, we will provide the necessary material for the offline challenge.
• The challenge can be done in groups of 2 (online) or more (offline).
• The online challenge has approx 15 tasks and 45 minutes time.

Yes, if you are able to participate in the online challenge.

Out of all the participants, we invite the 20 best participants to a FINALE (weekend) where you can compete "against the best" and we do have prizes for the winners!

The travelling cost, the cost for the FINALE as well as the prizes are donations from generous sponsors!

The FINALE takes part online. Each finalist works on his/her own computer (will be offered by our organisation for the duration of the FINALE). The result of this final competition are not challengeable.

No, you do not need a computer to learn computational thinking! We have many tasks that can be done with or without computers. Even the annual Bebras Challenge can be done with pen and paper if no computers and internet are available. Nothing can stop us to empower you!

That is not a problem. If you do have a computer lab, we can give you the coding-software to install. The computational thinking tasks can be done online or offline, thus no problem if no internet is available or only temporarily.

Yes and no. In many schools, a basic IT training is in the curriculum where you predominantly learn about the hardware and some terms. Computer Science as Computational Thinking is not yet plan of the normal curriculum. It can easily be integrated in math or IT or even lifeskills hours. However, it can also be offered as an afternoon activity once or twice a week.

The easiest is to involve your school. We then come to your school and have training with teachers and students.

If you prefer a training outside of the school, talk to us about arranging a computer science camp together.

That is fantastic! We can give you the software to install so that you can learn coding at your school. The software and its training manual are for free!

If you also have internet at your school, we can just give you the link AND you can also easily participate in the annual Bebras Challenge online! :)

Any teacher can learn to teach computer science. It is mostly teachers for math or computer science but also lifeskills teachers.

Aside of that, any person that knows about computational thinking can learn to teach in a playful way. Would you like to get involved? Please talk to us and together, we will make it happen.

• The Bebras Challenge is for free!
• The coding software and its manual is for free!
• If we come to your school and train teachers and students, it is for free as we finance that thru donations. We only ask the school to offer us accommodation during the training.
