Bebras

All Gioia House students participated in the BEBRAS Computational Thinking Challenge which is run in Australia by CSIRO Digital Careers.

Students had the option to work in groups of three, with a partner or alone and there were many animated discussions between students as they shared their thinking, explored ideas to solve the problems, discussed changes in strategy, compromised and challenged each other with alternate techniques to reach an answer within the timeframe. For students who chose to work alone focus was the key as they recorded ideas and considered a range of possible strategies for their solutions. No matter which choice they made, students really enjoyed the process.

Congratulations to all the students for their enthusiasm and focus on the day.
