The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge

About the challenge

The aim of the 45-minute coding challenge is to enhance skills, build confidence, and inspire students to develop programmed solutions to computational thinking problems. 

  • Completely free to enter
  • Designed to be accessible to all students aged 10+
  • There will be two types of challenge available for students to enter:
    • Block-based programming
    • Text-based programming
  • Both challenges include two difficulty levels

The challenge must be supervised, so coordinators must be prepared to organise and run the competition in their school.

How to take part

Only schools and their students who participated in the previous UK Bebras Challenge can enter the Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge.

Teachers and Coordinators will be contacted via UK Bebras’s internal emailing system during the challenge with further instructions. If you have missed the emails, log in to your teacher account and check the global messages.

Home-educated students will be contacted directly by the UK Bebras team.
