The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge

The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge will run from Monday 2nd March to Friday 31st March 2026

The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge is an event for UK students aged 10-19 who took part in this year's UK Bebras Challenge. 

The challenge has been designed to be accessible to all students aged 10+. There will be two types of challenge available for students to enter: block-based programming and text-based programming. Both challenges will include multiple difficulty levels. 

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. 

Please visit our challenges page for example questions from the 2025 coding challenge.

How do students enter?

All students that have participated in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge will automatically have the opportunity to enter the Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge. Teachers and Coordinators of the challenge will be contacted before the challenge starts with further instructions. 

Home-educated students who participated in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge will be contacted directly by the UK Bebras team. 

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

How much does it cost to participate?

The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge is free. We kindly ask that you provide as much information as possible when requested, to help us in evaluating the impact of our efforts.
