Teacher support - Coding Challenge
How are students entered?
Students who took part in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge will be automatically entered into the Raspberry Pi Foundation 2026 Coding Challenge. They will use the same username and password created for the Bebras challenge.
Students will be able to choose which challenge they would like to take part in when they login during the Live challenge window. Teachers can manage and change a student’s challenge group in the admin site by updating the group code to one of the following:
| Group name | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Novice | 901 | New to block-based programming or recently started learning to code with blocks. |
| Explorer | 902 | Confident using block-based programming and creating programs with blocks. |
| Navigators | 903 | New to text-based programming and developing skills by creating small programs. |
| Trailblazers | 904 | Confident programmers using a text-based programming language. |
If students did not take part in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge, registered coordinators will be able to enter them using the standard student registration process.
If your school did not take part in the 2025 UK Bebras challenge, please contact us at info@bebras.uk.
Practice material
We strongly recommend that students practise before taking part in the challenge. Practice challenges reflecting the block-based and text-based challenge formats.
