Get started as a teacher

Create an account

If your school is already registered to run the UK Bebras Challenge, you will find its name in the drop down list at the first stage of registration. At the the second stage, you will see a list of existing school coordinators including the name of the main coordinator. The main coordinator will be able to approve your account once you have completed the request. If the main coordinator is no longer at the school, please let us know and we will carry out the approval. 

If your school has not been previously registered for the UK Bebras Challenge or there is no main coordinator, you will automatically assume this role. When you register, your account will be inactive until we manually verify your teacher status by contacting your school. During busy periods, this verification process can take up to five working days following confirmation by your school.

Enrol your students

Student accounts are created by their respective teachers. To simplify this process, you can upload a spreadsheet. Detailed instructions can be found on the admin site. Note that student accounts are automatically deleted at the end of each academic year.

We highly recommend enrolling all students within a year group. This is because one of the primary aims of the challenge is to identify aptitude for computational thinking. The tasks are presented as engaging puzzles, starting with relatively easy ones to encourage participation from all students. During the timed challenge, only a few students manage to complete all the problems. However, with practice, most students find that they can tackle problems that initially seemed very challenging. We encourage you to enrol the entire school!

Promote the challenge

Registered teachers can access downloadable posters and flyers in the documents section of the admin site.

Run a club

Consider running the UK Bebras challenge as an enrichment club. In the teachers' area of the admin site, you'll find tools to create quizzes for your students. Students can benefit from working collaboratively in groups to enhance their skills.
