Get involved - UK Bebras

Teachers

Schools take part through a main school coordinator — a member of staff who registers the school, enrols students and supervises the challenge. Once registered, the coordinator can approve accounts for other teachers, who can then manage their own groups.

Registering is free, and you can register at any point in the year. Student accounts are deleted at the end of each academic year, so wait until September to enrol students. You do not need student accounts to let students practise.

Before you start

The coordinators guide covers registering your school, enrolling students, running the challenge and downloading your results.

Running a Code Club?

Code Clubs and other groups outside school are very welcome to take part. It works the same way as it does in schools: an organiser registers as a coordinator, enrols students and supervises the challenge.

Your club needs to be added to our platform first. Fill in the form below and we will check your eligibility, add your organisation and email you when you can register as a coordinator.

Students

You cannot sign yourself up — the challenge runs in schools, under a teacher’s supervision, so entries come through your school rather than from individual students.

What to do instead:

If your school already takes part, your teacher will enrol you in September and give you a username and password before the challenge starts.
If your school doesn’t take part yet, show a teacher this website and ask them to register. Anyone at the school can get in touch with us for more information.
If you are home educated, ask a parent or guardian to fill in the form in the next section.

You don’t need an account to practise. Past challenges are open to everyone, with no login needed.

Home educators

Home educated students are very welcome. They take part in our home educated group rather than through a school.

Sign-in details are sent out in the week before the challenge starts, so there is no need to do anything else in the meantime.

Fill in the form below and we will register your child.

Still not sure?

The challenge is free to enter, open to students aged 6 to 19, and takes 45 minutes of lesson time. You can read more about what students are asked to do, how tasks are scored and which age group your students fall into on the Bebras Challenge page.
